Yes I absolutely do agree with that.

Designers and product managers may completely ignore people like me, trample all over our needs and ignore us. Why would they care about the one percent. All good luck power to them and their values.

But I am also not the least bit concerned with whether their products are a success or not. Why would I care if they do not?

Yet I cannot concur that "almost every" site does. No, there are some that do. Moreover, those sites seem to self curate as being of very good quality. So I am happy that there are thoughtful, intelligent people out there who "get it". When they stop, so do I, and just move on. It's not personal and I'm not invested in them.

It’s not 1%, more like 0.005%.

My experience running websites tells me that ignoring people like you is actually mandatory because they'll take up all your time and have opposite tastes of contributing users.

The people you exclude are unlike the contributing users.... yep no tautology there then :)
