All these complaints seem to be from Access users, whereas the biggest complainers wouldn't even use Access at all.  If you look at other development tools like Visual Studio, they are so much fancier.  Debugging tools are way more advanced, for instance.  New generations who grew up with these would consider Access backward.  For instance, the newer tools don't need string concatenation or deal with the hassle of double double-quotes and the likes, because everything is parameterized: constructing a string looks something like $"Hello {PersonName}, nice to {ActionName} you!"  SQL construction doesn't even allow string concatenation (due to code injection risks); if you do it, it will say "not allowed to use &".  The debugger in VS is like light-years away from the one in Access.  There are many "quality-of-life" features, as well as essential ones.  Access has basically stopped growing in the last 10+ years or so.  With every passing year, it looks more and more quaint, as the features it lacks that other tools have keep growing.  If you have legacy Access applications, it's great; I have 20-year-old+ Access apps that still run because Access has never changed!  But you can imagine a new generation of developers, IT people, or self-enterprising individuals just would not consider Access.
