He does not refuse, but needs to look at bigger picture.
Some features are low hanging fruit, some are proposed small changes that actually should be defined a bit differently to be better and they will take more effort.
But even small hanging fruits means that they need to chose which ones to do. Should they delay pattern matching by 6 months to get elvis operator? I wouldn't like it, pattern matching is more important.
Basically they have limited resources and have to chose what to work on.
