And it's not like Walter could order the vast and well 
compensated GDC team to stop and go and work on DMD, even if that 
made sense.

To make the observation that someone unhappy with a state of 
affairs has the option to contribute the time to help move the 
world in the direction they think good is not quite the same 
thing as complaining about a lack of resources.   Morale is 
important in long term projects that don't pay off very quickly, 
and constant nagging and grumbling doesn't tend to help, even in 
the case when it is entirely well founded.
