Yeah you can be the smartest person on earth, if nobody listens to you then your advice isn't helpful to society. Not your fault, to be clear, it's society's fault, but that doesn't change anything about the helpfulness. A lot of people give a lot of proposals for how something should be done. What will tell you that the proposal is good? Especially if you are a politician who isn't educated in computer science.

Unfortunately, some problems are solved much better with heavy compromises ("listening to every stakeholder"), other problems can only be solved well by an uncompromising solution. The meta-problem is telling one from the other ahead of time. I don't know if that's even possible.
