Why are people so impressed when Envato does things they should have done light years ago?
Light years is a measure for distance, not time. 
Back to your question, Envato is great, and the team is doing a very good job to keep it a high-quality market. nuff said.
Love this one.
And yet, time is relative.
So is excellence, accomplishment, success, and just about everything we can conceive of subjectively.
Just relatives.
That ‘just’ means both “only”, and “balanced in proportion i.e. A just cause”.
And aren’t we are all just relatives here? 
All of the community, one way or another, are just relatives to one another, be it buyers, authors, visitors, staff. Our degree of expression of satisfaction is.. yeah.. just and justly relative, to our user experience, based on expectations and outcomes, and in some part due to the attitudes we ourselves project, I imagine.
Why are some people so impressed? Because they are happy? Better late than never? Hope for future? I think it’s been summed up by the many responses in this thread. 
All I can say is I know Envato strives for excellence, yes. Does it always hit the nail on the head every single day? Should some things have happened sooner? You know the answer. 
Which would you rather come first, though? The fail, or the win?
Concretely though, The hectic pace of managing so many ongoing projects means there is chaos in any attempt to improve order, as with most growing systems, and due to the relative and sometimes shifting priorities of issues, it can mean that intentions and plans don’t always eventuate in a completely predictable manner. Yet when they finally happen, often delayed, people will either be happy, or see it as too little too late, or anything in between.
I guess that’s why we get this flurried mix of voices time and again.
In this case, The way I see it is that without a negative expression to begin with, there’s one less opportunity for positive reinforcement, to celebrate the virtues of this community.
Just sayin’, it’s just relatives.
So thanks Landon, you’ve brought out the good in quite a few people here, in a roundabout way. Reverse win. 
Maybe Envato could try focusing on less projects, look at what happened to Google.
