No. The core of good product management is making decisions that make your product so attractive to users that they get their friends and coworkers to use it, too.

Sometimes that means minimalism. Sometimes it means that you have ease of use. Sometimes you realize that your users are actually not your customers, and you need to make the product attractive to the customers, not the users. That way lies madness and enterprise sales.

If a bunch of people are asking for a bunch of features it sounds like they have made their product attractive to users.

Not necessarily. There was a time there were few players in the SaaS office collaboration suites, so the default was google apps. Now that other alternatives exist people might be asking for some of the features offered by others.
