Steve Shives tackles Fan Service VS. Fan Entitlement
I think he's confused about what those two phrases really mean. Fan service isn't just "make what you think the fans want" and fan entitlement isn't just "I think I have the right to ask you to remove this from canon because I personally don't like it." By all means, creative staff with a vision and passion for that vision should be allowed to proceed without worrying what the "fans" will think about it. But Steve seems to think that all creative staffs have that vision and passion, and they don't. I'm reminded of what Nicholas Meyer said when confronted with the opinion that you can't kill Spock. "Of course I can, the question is if I can do it well." Whether current Trek is being made with the old passion or is merely assembly line product is up to personal opinion.
