Does it really matter to people that much what the majority opinion is? At the end of the day, Disney's gonna do what Disney's gonna do. If nothing else, the weekly stories on the show offer free publicity. They gain nothing by dumping all episodes at once.
Also, the weekly schedule is important at the moment as it gives Disney+ perceived value. Imagine if they released the Mandalorian and Wandavision episodes all at once? It would emphasize how little original content the service has. Netflix can release entire seasons at once because they have new shows debuting frequently. They don't need to pad the schedule, so to speak.
There's no reason for Disney to change things unless people cancel in mass numbers and explicitly cite weekly releases as their reason for doing so. That won't happen, because as we've seen demonstrated on these boards, two things are constant in life: Disney fans will complain and Disney fans will keep paying.
On a related note, I hope they change up the release schedule to debut shows in the early evening. I've seen people complain that it's hard to avoid spoilers, just from waiting until Friday evening to watch the show. Release the episodes at 6:00 or something, midnight makes no sense. Right now, a weekend release is okay because we're not going out, but post-COVID I'd like to see the shows release on Wednesday or Thursday evenings at 6:00 or so.
