There is a difference between "I haven't tried it, but I hate it" (which is still a valid opinion, but not helpful to us) and "We've been using Announcements for a while, and here is how we noticed it's not doing its job: ..."

You showing us in what way this limitation has negative consequences is information we can act on (e.g. fewer votes on a type of vote that, with highlights, would have received more, or posts by confused users who clearly missed important news).

Even if you have no concrete numbers or results to point to, your input is still more valuable after you've tried the feature - similar to how you can justifiably hate a book based on its premise alone, but you can write a much more impactful review after you've actually read it yourself.
