I think you are mixing up two different things. The outright complaints have primarily been revolving around the lowered event payouts mentioned in the patch notes. I’m sure Japanese players don’t like that as well.
The maintenance issue isn’t a deliberate middle finger to the players, and most people seem to understand this regardless of cultural origin.

It's disheartening to hear some people so vitriolic towards PD and Kaz because of this outage. Shaking fists, demanding refunds and calling the game garbage and decrying that PD owes us something.
What Kaz owed us was a video game for the money we paid. We got exactly that and it's beautiful and drives so much better than GTS.
Unexpected things happen all the time but some act like this is Armageddon or that Kaz is doing something deliberately to torture us.
It's disappointing, yes. But, he has apologized publicly for the downtime and they are working to get it back up and running. There is nothing more they can do.
I applaud the poster from the first page who made us aware of the apology and contrasted how the Japanese reacted to the apology and how others reacted to the apology.
When our real life cars break down for awhile, we don't call the lender and demand 2 days worth of payment be taken off. And those purchases are infinitely more expensive.
Here's hoping the game reemerges better than ever, and continues to get better over the years

Most people are taking issue with the contents of the patch, decreased payments and in turn increased grinding, not so much the outage. We know the outage is temporary, the decreased payments are here to stay unless PD have a change of heart.
Mind you, it is still understandably frustrating that people can't play their single player game because of a server outage.
No. No further updates since that one.

I'm really courious to see when the servers go back online and if we get anything besides a "we are sorry, now it's fixed. Bye"
Actually I wonder how much content - and in what rate - we will get at all.... But thats a different topic.

Like I said a few posts above yours, it’s not the extended maintenance that is causing anger and frustration.
It’s this: https://www.gtplanet.net/gt7-latest-update-has-outraged-fans-20220317/

What's hilarious is the fact that so many people are moaning that they can't play the game. But, who cares? It was garbage anyway.as they had completed it in two days flat and were demanding refunds and generally turning into rabid dogs 😂 Why should they care whether they can play it or not if it's such a mess of a game?
Well, that's what the post says. They found a bug in the update. They didn't say there was anything wrong with the servers.
It's pretty common in all areas of software. I regularly take websites down and put a "maintenance" page up, I'm not actually doing maintenance most of the time. That's just the easy way to keep everyone out whilst you do whatever it is you're actually doing, where if you let people in it'd either mess up what you're doing or they'd see errors whilst you fiddled with stuff.
The most likely explanation is that they saw something in the update so bad that they didn't even want to risk having people play with it, unlike the last patch where the bugs weren't gamebreaking and they let people continue playing. As such since some people already applied the patch the only thing they can do is create another patch to fix, and that's not going to be quick. Even as a first party, it has to go through submissions to Sony for safety once it's ready.

Can someone who has more technical knowledge than me, suggest why they haven't just rolled back to the last working version? Surely, that would be preferable?
I'm guessing that they can't, but I cannot imagine what type of thing would stop this.
