I'm not convinced that is true - in fact, I would go as far as to say it
is false.
Will adding more number theory stuff into Sage increase the user base? I
suspect the fact that Sage is already strong in that area, means it will
not.
OK, number theory is a strong point. I do not think about doing more
number theory. Is there some *near* field of mathematics, where Sage would
be quite good but not excellent?
(If growing wheat is a strong point, next try oak - no carrots.)
