Noshino just took over... so maybe he hasn't had time to implement things, but the EASIEST WIN for PS right now is to put:
1) USB Backup option for PS5 game saves
2) Folders
3) Static Themes (at the very minimum) OR... at least let us change the colour of the background (ala PS3)

I only really care for #1 and maybe #3, but this is so DUH, I can't believe PS is dragging their heels with this.
Also, I hope Noshino allocates more money to the software team; give more manpower and budget to the backwards compatibility team, and get firmware updates out faster with actual, meaningful improvements.

I'm absolutely astounded by this.

I want to be able to update ps5 games that I've got on my usb storage , I know I can't play them off the usb but I'd like to be able to update them to the latest versions so I don't have to download updates after I've moved them across to the internal storage , also playstation starts integration & how damn hard is it to include a web browser

Playstation os updates are incredibly slow.

Some of the features they add seem so basic.

Do they have some skeleton crew pumping out these updates?

Skeleton crew most likely, it has been like this for over 20 years, shameful really.

When it comes to PlayStation and PlayStation owners they always do the bare minimum.

So it is a update to the console already be ready when they put the backend online next week.
Yes. It's what I assume: they already released it but it's disabled until certain moment for everybody except some users who may be testing it live in the public version during some days.

I wish they updated pulse elites some more.
I would like for them to limit max volume because the bass does distort on last 2 clicks... or they could fix that somehow.
And for it to remember mic off. When I switch to pc (I have 2 link dongles) the mic turns back on.

Also, I am waiting for new pads for elites. The original ones are very comfy but seal so well I can hear my heartbeat and bloodblow. Its annoying.

It fixed Elite disconnects for me, "nothing new"? Well they are about to add direct Discord support even if that's not something you're interested it's something new

Did they fix it? Awesome, that was one of the two downsides for me and it was annoying af
