Why can or should criticism only come from people that are building things themselves?
Because the people who associate themselves with their products will bite their tongues for business reasons. If Sam pretends like the only people who worth hearing criticize from are exactly the group that won't voice their criticism, he can act like there isn't valuable criticism coming in.
Am I building something? Who knows, I use this account anonymously so I can call bullshit, not be a kissass because I'm worrying about my reputation and the reputation of my products (if they exist).
