Complaining about the kana additions is a bit like level 2 people complaining that it's going too slow

It really almost does not. It’s such a small amount of words.

Kana-Only Vocabulary Additions

We have collected several thousand candidates, but we’ll only publish the ones that we evaluate to be really useful additions. Still, I think it will be a lot eventually, but it will take time to add them all. They will appear among the vocabulary lessons at the beginning of a lesson, so after radicals and kanji.

Since they haven’t deleted those 60 yet, I think it’s safe to assume there will at least be several hundred more in the future, or maybe a thousand. Since we already have 2k kanji and 6k vocab, that could mean a 10% increase or so in items?

“it’s not what WK is made for” → WK has a terms and service agreement where they say anything is subject to change and vocabulary or being a general Japanese teacher has always been part of the program.

This is fair. With the announcement that they were hiring a software engineer, I was really excited thinking we were going to grammar. Instead, we got ここ、こんにちは、 and others, but 本日(ほんじつ)、明太子(めんたいこ)、and 様子(ようす) are “too common” to be added.
