Thanks! That is a constructive way. Instead of simply saying "this is crap". I have already taken that into account.

I might want to clarify something again, I don't expect anyone to draw me a floor plan or anything like that, but I do think one can at least have a somewhat objective discussion about it. Simply saying this is crap doesn’t help. And as I have mentioned several times, if it is constructive, it is great and it makes me happy. And I am not defending anything, I am explaining why I have done or planned something the way I did.
You’re certainly not new to forums? I am often active in forums, in some I register because I have an individual question, in others it is enough to repeatedly read the favored topic, maybe click on every thread and skim through it until I have gathered all the information I need.
Many here do the same. And they draw their answers to questions they haven't even had yet from the answers of other members. That is how a forum works. Registration is desired, as is selflessly giving other participants an answer when you think it is informative or the thread lacks it for some reason. So if someone registers here because they want to build, I assume they have engaged with the forum and already made use of it. Sizes of pantries, kitchen furnishings, accessibility, and stairs are practically staples in this forum! If you then take on the task of an architect yourself, I also assume that you have dealt with the subject of house designs, room programs, orientations and alignments as well as sightlines...
You can become blind to your own design; mistakes are made anyway, and that’s what the forum is for.
Of course, a brief hint doesn’t always find an open ear, but honestly: I (not only I) as a moderator write for hours every time the same things, kbt09 too... Somehow you should have read one or the other criterion repeatedly from us and others.
I generally don’t mind repeating my posts. However, it is sometimes a small challenge to always be equally detailed. I admit that gladly.
I find it very important that the future builder deals with the criticism _independently_ so that they can expand their perspective _on their own_. It usually doesn’t help if someone is told all the pros and cons and spoon-fed. If you have to think _yourself_ about the advantages and disadvantages, you often have more feeling for your next task in the future and better conditions to accomplish it.
I don’t actually know who here said "crap". Maybe it was your interpretation of words and phrases like "is not sufficient", "does not do justice", "conservative but not practical", "not adequate", "not mature"... "missing storage rooms" is/are actually self-explanatory. If these are too much blah-blah for you and thus not understandable, that’s fine, but then ask. At least the words bounced off you (I remind you of a), b)...) and mistakes were vehemently defended. I did not read arguments there. You also lacked the willingness to explain everything to us, even though this is about you here.
It’s of course unfortunate that you posted two ground floor plans, and I saw the worse one as the old one, and the other as the revised one.
Addendum: I have just read everything again – you should also reconsider your answers. Not only with me, but also with the other participants who criticize, a bit of grumpiness can be detected. Others would say snappiness. Maybe you are a bit upset that the design is not the be-all and end-all?
