What you're talking about has very little to do with what I'm talking about.
The things specifically intended for the 50th were, in many cases, doomed from the moment their timelines were blown due to their timid response to the uncertainty around COVID. There was no going back. The lack of shuttles, the pricing, and the shuttered shows you mention surely negatively impact the overall experience, but they have nothing to do with what people expected from the 50th. People aren't saying it feels anemic in terms of content because of services that are still missing; they're annoyed that Tomorrowland is still in pieces with a vacant Stitch, that the hatbox ghost isn't in the Haunted Mansion, that there's no updated finale to Small World, that Philharmagic wasn't fully updated, that TRON and Guardians won't open in time, that Future World is a mud pit, that the train isn't running, etc.
I'm glad that Universal was more bullish in terms of their construction, and I agree that it's a bad look for WDW to use the pandemic as a great reset on once-free services. They should also absolutely have worked out parades or more robust cavalcades by this point, and things like full housekeeping need to return if they're running everything else as normal. However, this topic is about the content of the 50th, and I'm not going to "condemn" them for being shy about restarting construction a year ago when there were so many unknowns. It's unfortunate that many of their plans rested on massive builds that were often interconnected.
