> None of the decision-makers seem to have the sense or incentive to say "no" to anything.

How could you know that? Not all the 'no's show up as a proposal. The proposal template also has an "Impact on ABI" section which you can use to guide your "can I ignore it"-sense.

What is the actual problem though? Not enough features that you would use? But I don't see how this is a governance problem

Java governance: slow at times but mostly sane. C++ governance: I won't even open this can of worms. Swift governance according to you: too many features I will ignore.

People like this just complain. Without pointing to anything real or saying anything meaningful. You just have to ignore them like spam.
