Well yeah, users want the full fucking product, not the MVP.
MVPs happen to be an (apparently) efficient model for startups, but its not like anyone actually wants it. Your users might grudgingly accept your half-finished, buggy, unoptimized MVP because nothing better is available to them, but how could you possibly expect anyone to be happy with this?
MVPs are pushed by businesses, not by consumers. But on the market-scale, it also pushes MVPs (because you get bonuses from being first-to-market and such).
But no individual consumer goes around saying "yeah I'd love to be promised the world, and instead recieve a millionth of it".
Of course you're going to be criticized by the people you've given hope to, only to let down with bug report #985
