I'm not convinced that the optimists are the vast majority among humans. It seems more like pessimists never get anything done, due to their outlook on the world (survivorship bias.)
Although in this case, you'd think the pessimists would be the ones to take action. Perhaps the real optimists in this case would be those who believe that in spite of these processes being in place, they can do something about it.
