Of course there are hecklers and people who are overly aggressive but they're far outnumbered by the actual fans. Compared to Hasbro though NECA is tiny so they do rely on feedback and interaction. Hasbro is a giant toy company so without anybody working at Hasbro directly pushing for something like that Hasbro itself isn't going to feel inclined to open up new channels for feedback.

Funko does this on Facebook as well, but could do a better job of it. This was also Scott's job at Mattel but I don't think he was allowed to do it by the higher ups, which may be why he finally quit. I know I called him out more than once on stuff he should have been able to tell us and would not or could not. Hasbro has a Q&A on AFI that has not been serviced in at least 3 years, maybe more.
