The point is that there are plenty of songs, especially a lot of the heavier ones that actually do have double bass notes essentially charted. Some of us are not uber awesome drummers, so we don’t have the capacity to single-hit most of those notes.

Also, there are plenty of songs where having a second bass pedal would make songs much easier and thus – and here’s the crux of my point – more FUN to play, because we’d be able to play them.

The number of Expert tracks I feel like I could play if only I had a double bass pedal that worked properly has grown quite a bit.

Harmonix gives a cop-out answer as to why this apparently hasn’t happened yet. They would rather outsource this activity to other peripheral makers or intrepid DIY’ers rather than just get off their rears and make it official.

It really seems to speak a whole lot of volume about what they think about some of their customers that this appears to still be an unresolved problem. It appears they just don’t seem to care at all, and that’s a terrible attitude to have.
