I reviewed a hundred feature requests from our top clients last year.

Every singlr one asked for a brand new complex integration. Instead of building them, I got on calls and asked why they needed them. Half of them just wanted to export data into a simple spreadsheet because our dashboard was too hard to filter. I spent a week adding a basic search and filter bar instead. All hundred feature requests disappeared. They weren't asking for new features. They were asking for a way to use what we already built.
