Halo Platform : A Failed Opportunity in Crypto or Victim of Bad Management?

More than 2 years on into this project, Halo Platform has fallen far short of it's original roadmap goals. While this is not an unusual occurrence in cryptoland, it does bring some questions to mind. Underfunded and understaffed, Scott Morrison has had to cobble together a support team of people who will work for almost nothing, and discord enthusiasts who fancy themselves as being the answer to coinholders prayers (they aren't). By the way, I have taken to steemit to express my views, as I have been banned from the discord for not towing the party line..which is fair warning to anyone who dare disagree with the likes of recourier (pompous, smug, and way too smart for any of you). On to my questions:

a) Halo Platform has a pretty good wallet and Masternode system. The DEX works, but is very clunky and still has a lot of bugs. What is the goal of the Team for the DEX; A working project or a money making vehicle for the Masternode Holders? Right now, it doesn't seem to be either.

b) Block and Chain Games was initially a creator of Masternode rewards in the form of service fees from the BlockFight and Draggin Dragons games. Both of those projects seemed to have been abandoned after Devon left the fold. Why not spin the games division off to someone who knows what they are doing and let a real developer turn it into a winner for Halo Platform?

c) Pinnacle has been touted as the savior of Halo Platform for the past year, as the team works at a frantic (lol) pace to get to a viable release candidate. Without an enormous amount of capital for marketing and promotion, how does the team expect Pinnacle to fare against established competitors? Also, how do you attract paid listings to an unknown exchange that uses a wonky "wrapper" system for coins that is going to confuse noobs?

d) Halo Platform main net has some terrific attributes, not the least of which is TPS throughput and zero gas fees. Why hasn't the team been able to parlay these advantages into actual usable partnerships with other projects needing the speed and dependability of the network? Is there something important missing for these other projects, or is it just not as good as the team says it is?

I'll have more questions later..but would love to see some much needed discussion about the above points. My hunch is that the moderator may kill this post before anyone has a chance to weigh in. I hope that in the spirit of decentralization, all voices can be heard on these matters.
