The point of betas/alphas is for testing. They aren't really to help you out. If they don't get testing data, there's no sense in them letting users use it, then complaining about it breaking something and not getting the data to fix it with.
huh? Of course you can access about:config on stable releases and install addons from outside their website?
And you installed beta drivers to see if they run better than the latest version. Would have you reported your findings back or just keep it to you?

I can promise you, the feedback is being read. They won't respond, but it's being seen. They also may not choose to change it in the way you want, because of how much effort it'd take or it going against their goals, but it's being viewed by someone.
