They can't know or not know unless they ask, 3rd person may not change anything, but I suspect they suspect it will help retain new player who have trouble reading the map or hud (I mean to be completely honest, this is my first MW game, and I had zero trouble understanding this, never played WOT, in fact I just built this computer, and MWO was one of the first games I downloaded, its not hard at all, especially when there is training grounds, and then there's the HUD or minimap bugs, its so hard to tell which way my legs are facing, I'm only moving that way, or the C to center, so you can look that way).
It really isn't fair to discount the forum poll. OK so it may be a small sample size, but that sample size is staggeringly against it, it is fair to say you want more votes, but its not fair to assume the opposite of what the forum polls said. Its like saying every time we doubled the amount of votes, the amount of pro-3PV went up greater than anti.
I mean, sure it can be different, BUT, there is nothing that would indicate that if twice as many people voted, it would look significantly different.
I'm surprised they don't do a patch poll every patch to get info.
