A few years ago the BTC/BCH split happened. This was a major philosophical decision that creates winners and losers and changes the trajectory of the winning coin forever. It was a fiscal policy decision.

It was made exclusively by software engineers and miners. Miners get to vote based on their wealth. I don't consider that to be "a democratic process". There is no guarantee of enfranchisement. Some people get far far far more votes than others. It is more like a council of aristocrats.
