EU Commission does has some democratic element in it. As though they are not elected by the Europeans directly, they are proxy voted by their respective government.

This is not new. For example, there are also no ministry election or, yet the government of the day still put people onto that position. This is just one example, if you're coming from the US, you can even think of the even more examples of non-directly elected official making important policies.

But judging by your two comments here, you have given this matter very little thought.
