I will. Thank you for doing a great job anyway. I don't actually feel angry or demand anything from you, although I might sound this way. I just expressed my thoughts which many people obviously share.
May I, however, ask if there is a serious reason to require Big Sur instead of supporting Catalina, Mojave and High Sierra also? I understand you probably don't want to waste resources on actually supporting them but perhaps you could just build against them and let users use it on their own risk?

We're using SwiftUI and WebKit features that were added quite recently (MacOS doesn't get nearly as much love from Apple as iOS). This keeps our product iteration cycle quite high, and the worry is having to implement cumbersome solutions if supporting previous OSs.
I'll have to look into it again to see if I can go back just a bit maybe and assess how much time it would take to support those versions.
We're a pretty small team :)

I would have lobed to try this out as well, but I'm stuck in 32 bit land for the foreseeable future - so I am staying with Mojave.

Ah, what a shame. Hopefully I figure out a workaround to support Mojave :D

I see. Thank you for your time.
Hopefully you give it a try when you update eventually :)
