Critical feedback regarding FS Traffic usability and performance in MSFS 2024

Dear Just Flight Team,
As a long-time customer and owner of FS Traffic (currently running v1.0.8+), I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with the current state of the product, especially following the transition to MSFS 2024.
While your marketing highlights "native compatibility," the actual user experience remains frustratingly over-complicated and suboptimal. I would like to address the following points:

Obsolete Workflow: Why does the end-user still have to manage a manual "Layout Rebuilder" and dozens of external settings to get the addon working? In a modern simulator environment like MSFS 2024, this level of manual interference feels like outdated software design from the FSX era.
Poor Reliability vs. Complexity: Despite following all instructions (disabling default traffic, setting ground density to 0, etc.), the results are often disappointing—incorrect gate assignments, erratic AI behavior, and poor interaction with the simulator's ATC.
Injector Issues: Even with the latest updates, the injection system seems to struggle. I find myself spending more time in the Traffic Control Centre than actually flying.

I have previously used free alternatives like FSLTL because they offered a more "plug-and-play" experience with better visual results. As a paying customer, I expect FS Traffic to be significantly superior in terms of automation and reliability, not more cumbersome.
What are your concrete plans to automate the "Layout Rebuilder" process and improve the AI injection logic so it doesn't require constant manual babysitting from the user?
Looking forward to a detailed response.
Best regards,

In continuation of the above, I could attach a bunch of videos to you, but I'm sure this is unlikely to help. Sometimes the add-on starts to work, but the variety of airplanes is completely miserable, as well as the presence of planes too, the feeling that you do not visit airports. Then there is such a thing as schedules, why 2022-23, who should update it??. IN GENERAL, there is a complete feeling that you developers do not care at all about the support of the software add-on for sale. And fs traffic should serve MSFS, not the other way around. OTHERWISE DISABLE THIS IN MSFS because it interferes with your program--absurd.

I very much agree with Artkatz but I feel that the developers are not good enough to solve the problems so they have just washed their hands of it.
That are two main problems they have not addressed

1. start up there is no traffic, but if you do a restart traffic appears. WHY?
2. Their answer to no GA traffic is rubbish and just shows they cannot be bothered.
   I can import plenty of FSLTL GA aircraft and modify the airport timetables myself so why can,t they?
   So again what Artkatz states,, if a freeware program such as FSLTL works, why can't a product that I paid good money for work.
   Having said this, once FSTraffic for X was a brilliant product
