To understand that, you need to know some of the backstory behind the software.  
FxSound, or, as it was previously known, DFX, was originally developed by a team led by James’ father.  
James inherited the company after his father’s passing, and the current team behind the software is completely different, as well as much smaller.  
So the updates made today are much harder to accomplish, less frequent, focused on the most urgent matters first, and done in tiny, gradual steps.
