LOL
Just LOL.
And it's obviously sarcastic.
Another example of using "with your input [love/hug emoji]" done in order to fake what obviously is "let them believe we really care".
With an even terrible and implied "...we know better anyway".
Not only it's now already clear that you don't really care about what your users think, but you are even ignoring their experience, which is somehow paradoxical, considering that SE/SO is built exactly upon the experience of your users.
It's like having a farming business mostly made thanks to professional farmers, built around them and with them, that unilaterally decides absurd farming procedures, without actually considering the opinions of those farmers and experts in even "higher" fields (no pun intended), even after asking them.
You probably think that asking is good enough, and listening to the answers is not necessary if you don't like them.
If you don't really care about the expert response of your own users, then just admit it.
Don't ask, stop asking: just "DO IT!" [cit.].
You'll still get some bad critics, but, at least, it would not be caused by your own hypocrisy.
In the meantime, you can safely report to your shareholders that, if they keep supporting the current strategy, their business interests are oddly placed, as they clearly are not interested in what we (thousands, if not millions of people) do here every day, and we couldn't really care a bit about their money, since they don't really care about us to begin with.
We would prefer a dead-StackOverflow archive, than an ill-maintained stock-preoccupied fake business that deceives people.
