The people do want to see them. There has been a great hue and cry from UK folks who have criticized W/K for going off to everywhere but their homeland areas since the birth of George.
I don't even like them much, but I want to see them!!!
Yes I believe many of them had their employment listed with various media outlets.
Ask the average person on the street and I don't believe that they're all that concerned about how often William and Catherine are performing royal duties. They've done several throughout the UK since George's birth and their tour of Australia/New Zealand. (Tower of London, Invictus Games, Investiture at BP, Scotland, etc...)
