There are two ways of returning information to the developers. The first is to use the Feedback link on most pages at LDS.org where your comments will be given to the program developers. The second is to raise the issue with your priesthood leaders. The stake president is able to forward information, needs, and requests to the area presidency or Presidency of the Seventy, who will coordinate with their priesthood leaders who make the decision on what capabilities will be and will not be included. The developers take their priorities and instructions from them.
As an aside, I understand that many folks used export capabilities while they were available, and came to know and rely on that function. My own personal experience since the advent of MIS/FIS, MLS, and now LCR in the electronic age, is that I am able to recall using the export function only two or three times over the decades. Yet I still believe I was able to perform my callings efficiently and well using available processes and reports that were every bit as efficient as anything I might have done starting with an export file, other than the two or three exceptions I mentioned.
I regularly sit in meetings with leaders having my same calling who live and die by the export function. I have no trouble at all without it. It makes for an interesting discussion from time to time, and each person's experience is different.
