Do I actually have to repeat his arguments, which would be/are mine as well? Your feelings about the whole situation are entirely irrelevant. You can't rush this process, no one can. Thinking that you can and that it's somehow the writer's fault(don't even start me on the implicit arrogance here) is extremely naive of you, to say the least.
See, here you said I don't disagree, I just don't understand.
No.
I totally, understand. I just disagree. Artists are not special flowers. They make a product. If they promise a product, and don't deliver it, there will be consequences. I get that it is art and it takes something more than JUST hard work to produce a good version of it. Does not change the fact that a product was promised and not delivered.
I have a friend who is a very famous opera singer. She hates that artists are treated differently than others. When she signs a contract to compose a new piece and then perform it, if she does not complete it, those who hired her to write it have every right to be upset. And those who were waiting to watch the performance do as well.
