Diki, you make great points.

However, it would cost less than a dollar per unit to increase the flash memory from 1mb to 100mb.

Some of the changes I am talking about wouldn't cost anything but a little bit of programming time, like to make some buttons, otherwise useless in a menu, activate some necessary functions. Don't you think that if you're doing a live performance with reverb on your voice that it is necessary to be able to get the reverb off to talk to the audience? Why should I have to go into a submenu?

The PSR3000 had an excellent direct access system where you could press Direct Access and then buttons on the board and get into all types of submenus. They made the system on the PSR-S900 inferior so that there is no direct way to get into many submenus.

Yamaha could make money marketing special multi footswitch devices for their keyboards for those of us who want more than two (see past threads on the Midi Solutions footswitch controller for how you can get at least one extra footswitch).

I think that Diki makes a good point though as far as implementing other improvements, that there isn't enough demand for these keyboards. They're essentially specialty devices and the prices are kind of inflated compared to mass market devices.
