I'll point out that the Redux team (first Dan Abramov and Andrew Clark, now myself and Tim Dorr) never tried to market Redux as something you _must_ use, and in fact have had to actively spend lots of time telling people to _not_ use it all the time. (Probably one of the only tools in existence where the maintainers have spent more time _discouraging_ its use than _encouraging it, which is a state of affairs that frustrates me to no end.) We've continually tried to provide guidance in the docs as to when it _does_ make sense to use it.

But, as I noted just above this comment: we don't control the rest of the developer ecosystem. All we control is the official docs, and our own blogs and social media comments.

I also want to emphasize that we _haven't_ dismissed people's feedback as "you don't know what you're doing", and in fact have tried to take that feedback into account with our docs and the creation of Redux Toolkit, to guide people in the right direction as they use Redux.
