What is the grand design of POE at the moment?

Hi community team, what is the grand design or strategy of POE at the moment? Just exactly what kind of game does GGG leadership want to make in the lead up to POE2 and how does that inform your league to league nerf/buff (mostly nerf) decisions?

I feel like every league we get piecemeal information about the grand strategy for POE but I cannot recall a time in recent history where GGG lays out all the bits and pieces together to show players the roadmap towards POE2. Often players are left to recall (or fail to recall) something that Chris said months or years ago to justify to themselves the nerfs/buffs every league. I don't think this is at all healthy for the game and leads to players possibly putting a lot of words into Chris's mouth and engaging in conspirational thinking.

Your leadership can clear all of this up by putting out a proper development manifesto to make clear what is really guiding your overarching balance decisions and to assuage players that a lot of this isn't about some deep-seated loathing of "casual/zoom-zoom" players as much of reddit has now come to believe.
