Excellent point. Without the devs accomplishing what they did in the limited time they were given, there would be no game to mod. Also don't forget that the mods leading to GW/GWX/GWX2 have been in constant development for almost three years. If the devs had the luxury to create a perfect game, we might never actually see it, since the technology itself improves every year and what has been done before quickly becomes obsolete.
Just look at the long development history of
PT Boats.
