What's the point of the beta/release threads then? Just release the firmware and don't accept any feedback.

Every single fix that came from a user report or user request is annotated in this list (USER REPORTED, USER REQUEST, etc...)
That's why I have these beta threads. Don't just focus on the cases where I reject or ignore reported issues, look also at every single genuine report and request that I actually investigated and implemented. You can clearly see here that there are a lot of them.
