I say, "eh," solely because aside from small things from Game Changers, I do not see EA changing anything not of their own accord. They always have and always will do their own thing, whether it makes sense to us or not. (I will note here that they have for potential and actual controversies, but I personally do not want to compare getting extra DLC I want in a game to representation and more.)
The hidden player data EA collects is an interesting point, and we really have no idea of the sales figures of each pack, too, but that means nothing without the info. For all we know occult players are a silent majority, considering it was said Generations in 3 did not sell well and that was a potential reason against making another. Batuu might even be the best selling pack to date; no one (outside of EA) knows. Debating which playstyle is the majority or the minority is similarly pointless because there is simply no way to actually know without the data. So unfortunately moot, and we do not even know if they truly take this into account rather than say raw sales data, focus groups, or employee pitches.
So, I am not sure exactly what you mean by more vocal, but if you mean spamming social media and the livestreams, etc., then no. I will not do that at all. I will always say that I would like more, but *shrug* even if the squeaky wheel gets greased EA has the choice to ignore the minor inconvenience or to actually acquire grease. I suspect between the two, they will lean into the former. Why? There is far more than one squeaky wheel and each needs a different type of grease. That is a headache one shopping trip will not fix, so why go out of your way?
