To say "never" is somewhat harsh. As senior members is it not our duty to enlighten those who are willing to receive words of wisdom? Though I do understand what you are trying to point out. Their narrow way of thinking (and I don't mean that as an insult) is the folly of youth. I am still young myself, but I have enough patience and wisdom to recognize the downward spiral our beloved Naruto Shippuden has taken.
In Kishi's defense it isn't easy to keep something that has been running for over a decade fresh and new while still remaining true to those who have been there from the beginning. Still I hope the stalls, weak plots, and ho hum fights are just a diversion for a really solid ending.
I still remain hopeful that the Naruto VS Sasuke arc/Fight will bring back that old Nostalgic feeling we all miss so much.
