From his comments, it seems like his team only focused on acceleration and daily usability, but didn't really consider the enjoyment factor of a higher redline.
I will say high RPM, low displacement NA engines really seem to be hit or miss with folks. Some hated the F20/22 and B18C1/5 because of their anemic low-end torque and requirement for downshifting and redlining. Others loved them. But based on the popularity of turbo compacts today, I'd guess more people disliked them sadly.

Yea but the Miata is way lighter, so its much faster at lower rpm even with less torque.
