All of your points make perfect sense. But some of them work against each other in the real world. EcuTek isn't going to FI a Z and then do all the research on tuning it - they're going to wait until the demand is out there and then work on unlocking previously unavailable features (like VVEL) via software, their specialty. So it then falls to the certified tuners to acquire (whether through a customer or their own car) a FI Z to do full testing and tuning on. EcuTek releases a beta so that people can start testing some features even if others aren't yet available (and likely to help them gauge the public interest). Like you said, "Try getting someone who has boost on their car, after all the money they spent to be a test guinea for this company. Just not gonna happen." Unfortunately, it looks like that's what it's going to take.
People want results. Perfectly reasonable. But a lot of things have to align for them to appear on this forum, and that doesn't appear to be on the fast track to happening. Hopefully, people like MKG can change that
And this is the internet. When I say something irritates me, its more like this
