The fact that the main way to achieve an outcome in the US is by changing the process is the outcome-vs-process dysfunctionality. It's not short-sighted thinking, it's realism. The US politico-legal environment has far more respect for process than for outcome, so processes have been co-opted to serve political purposes and if you try to simply follow the existing process or set a neutral process then you'll always lose.
