Hosting companies hear from podcasters, almost never listeners
Quote
Because what the one thing that hosting companies really want to know, is what listeners want. They they really want to know that because they don't. I mean, they get some feedback. But the feedback is, the feedback really doesn't come from the listener, the feedback always comes from the the podcaster.

Summary
Hosting companies want to know what listeners want, but their feedback nearly always comes through podcasters. A listener on Apple Podcasts doesn't look up the host and petition them for a feature, so listener input is valuable and rare.
