This is a mischaracterisation.  The EV UI has not been removed, it has been
moved to a new location.

What leads you to believe that Mozilla didn't plan to interact with members
of the community?  It is entirely plausible that if any useful responses
that warranted interaction were made, interaction would have occurred.

I don't believe that Mozilla is obliged to respond to people who have
nothing useful to contribute, and who don't accurately describe the change
being made.

I think the decision was explained and justified in the initial
announcement.  No information that contradicted the provided justification
was presented, so I don't see what argument was required.

Soliciting feedback and hearing back from the community does not require
response from Mozilla, merely reading.  Do you have any evidence that
Mozilla staff did not, in fact, read the feedback that was given?
