Is it hopeless to ask for Windows Media Center in Windows 10?

Windows Central Question

Is it true that Microsoft has reverted to its old arrogrant ways, refusing to even consider the wishes of those customers who would like to have Windows Media Center available in some form with Windows 10?

I understand it will not be available moving forward. I think the features of Media Center are being subsumed elsewhere.

Honestly, In all the years I've had it I've never used it. I think the user % is simply too low. It's biggest feature that other software components of Windows do not already have would be TV tuner card. Are people still using those?

If it gets a lot of voice, I think MSFT might reconsider. But like RumoredNow said, user % is the reason it's being discontinued.

There's a very large, very easy option for WMC users - don't stick Windows 10 on their WMC machine.
