Why aren't things built on top of one another? Do we really need another bitcoin wallet?
I can count at least 5 bitcoin wallets that are great but as any good project, they need more development and manpower to keep on. This baffles me, I may not know much about what devs do, but I can for certain tell you what people are looking for on a wallet: it's something where you can store money and it needs only 2 options in and out. Nobody wants to know anything about channels, coinjoin, DLC, or any other super dooper special feature. Outside nerd world, nobody cares about those things, they are too busy with their own jobs and worries to even try to understand that.
That's my 2 sats, but what do I know?
So you only use the bitcoin core wallet? Do you also only use MySpace for social media or hacker news for latest news? How do you think the "5 bitcoin wallets that are great" got to where they are today? By locking themselves to someone else's wallet that was built years prior?
There's also no intention for users to know any of the things you described with us as well, so bad example. They also don't need to know about raise announcements or the team behind it either... that's there to describe how we are tackling the problems we are.
Nothing breakthrough ever gets built by constraining yourself to the old. There's been huge progress in development kits in recent years that would just be unfeasible for existing wallets to adopt. Its a simple fact that it's far easier to start from scratch to build a new design than to swap out the base foundation.
