I think there is so much toxic negativity on social media that people in positions of power like this guy choose to ignore it all completely (even if the criticism is legitimate as in this case).

BMW is no longer the small focused automaker we grew up admiring, it's become another company too big for its own good where decisions are made exclusively by arrogant MBAs at the top.

At the end of the day, when sales figures, profit, and share price are all that matters; these people feel averse to criticism. Who are we to rain on their parade? All we can do is vote with our wallets. I did exactly that. If BMW no longer wants to produce BMWs, I'll find my modern interpretation of BMW elsewhere.
