I agree, adding a few thoughts —
Because it’s not about solving a serious challenge facing humanity — it’s about the social credit of virtue signaling:
- Establishing consensus and working with stakeholders would be hard.
- Whining to an unelected, transnational body to force your “benevolence” on your nation is easy.
If people are concerned about the unrest in Europe (farmer protests; collapse of faith in institutions; rise of populists), or more broadly about delivering results on issues challenging humanity, this is counterproductive.
