The time gap between the latest agents

How come I haven’t seen the slightest bit of disappointment about the 7 month time window between the new agent and waylay? Given the usual wait is bout 4 or 3 months. Did I just not look very well or do people not care about new agents? If it’s the latter than I’ve got to admit im shocked since my main reason for coming back to this game is new characters. That’s because the meta is usually incredibly stale and gets very repetitive(imo).
