It is really weird that @ned and friends are letting all this go down. Do they really not care? Are they too busy? Are they continually catering to investors? Do they not know the answer? Maybe all four.

The core developers are busy fixing problems with the Steem implementation and are experiencing problems (or at least that is the impression I get from the GitHub). It appears that Ned and Co. are too ambitious and are trying to do too much at one time. As a result, not a lot has been accomplished and everything is behind schedule. They should probably delay SMTs and focus on Appbase, Hivemind, and Scalability, but they probably won't.
I think this is a spot on assessment. Developers are notoriously bad for biting off more than they can chew. And thus, Soon™ was born. There are always unforeseen problems.
You'd think they'd learn, but they never do. As a rule of thumb developers need to figure out how long something is going to take, and then double it.
