This is absolutely true. In general I feel like it's good when a language belongs to a core team, but they don't appear to be learning from past mistakes. The core team put out a proposal for modules and then immediately implemented it with very little community feedback except what could be done after the fact without breaking much. There was huge backlash and they claimed they would do better and seek community feedback earlier, but now they require that you use a Google web service when fetching modules (I've turned it off) and shoved that out between two versions without any community feedback as well. Strong central leadership is great, but leadership needs to actually listen to the people they're leading (and not just as an after thought).
