Feature roadmap prioritization

How can we know what features are being prioritized on Figma’s roadmap? Many ideas and bugs shared here have many votes but have been left unsolved for years, even though users are still bumping, adding comments, and voting.

Ex.:
Expose nested instances at component level
Use percent for min and max width

Since variables were released, I have gone deeply into updating our company’s files to use them and updating my team’s workflow. However, it seems the feature still didn’t leave beta, as we still don’t have basic search functionality, native variable swapping and management functionality, being able to reference opacity variables in color aliases, etc.

I’ve voted on several topics requesting these features, as we’re always reminded to do because it helps the company prioritize, but there’s no communication whatsoever about what is actually being prioritized, or if these issues will ever get actioned.

Until they do we can only pay for different third-party plugins for specific cases or hustle through clunky manual chores. If we knew a certain timeline, we could at least have healthier budgeting and planning conversations with our teams.

The fact that there is zero response on this thread (with a valid issue), is bonkers. Figma, what the heck is going on over there? How about some communication with your users every now and then? If there is something going on in the company, at the very least acknowledge the question and tell us if it is going to be answered. So many threads here are just screaming in the void. Ridiculous.
