Because everyone wants neutral fair referees when their laws/rights are being interpreted but that’s an impossibility because humans aren’t neutral.
The fact that there are problems with an alternative set up (oh no, unstable populism!) doesn’t mean the current paradigm is itself flawless.
The parts of government that exist to slow things are always “very important to stability/safety/growth of the nation” but a lot of us just see them as the artifacts the rich and powerful put in place to ensure they and their friends and family stay rich and powerful for as long as possible.
Move fast and break things, especially governments.

In the same vain, this doesn't mean that there's any better alternative. > the artifacts the rich and powerful put in place to ensure they and their friends and family stay rich and powerful for as long as possible You could say the same about many other things that benefit society as a whole. Turns out, things that make society rich and stable often help those in power stay in power. > Move fast and break things, especially governments. Unfortunately, I've been on the internet too long to be 100% sure it's sarcasm. So, just in case — please don't break governments. And may be don't actually move fast with them. Thank you.
