Very short list considering you had 500+ questions! So a lot of ignored questions including my own:

Does Wix have any plans to upgrade the Blog app, and widgets, to be responsive and therefore allow seamless integration into Studio built sites?

Currently the Blog app lacks layout control options and isn’t responsive, plus, the widgets that drive internal traffic to it only have 2 break points, so it’s impossible to integrate it without significant display issues.

Been trying to get an answer to this question for some time now, a useful response would be appreciated. There’s nothing related in the Roadmap.
