Again, it doesn't matter what "the market" wants, Bitcoin is not governed by free-market but by rules enforced by a consensus of its peers so as to keep every network actors' incentives aligned.
How soon we forget the peer-to-peer network is useless and worthless if it doesn't serve a market...
It's tiered. 3 tiers.
(welcome to Bitcoin by the way, I understand you're new to the subject)
Tier 1 is the development team writing rules for the consensus algorithm. This happens in the first instance (i.e. Satoshi etc)
Tier 2 is the miners. They choose to mine Bitcoin or something else depending on the consensus rules (as well as the rest of the coin design)
Tier 3 is the users. Based on the way the system dynamics resolve as a result of the interplay between tiers 1, 2, and 3, the users decide which coin to use.
That's how Bitcoin has been since day one. We all know you simultaneously believe that Bitcoin already has the users at Tier 1 and also that the users should be promoted to tier 1. My advice to you and Peter and the rest of you cohort; go and do it if you believe in it so much. But don't keep implying your preferred model is the reality, or to alter the bitcoin system into that model; the model is as stated above.
If users making all the software engineering decisions is the model you believe in,
compete in the real free market by building that model from the ground up, not by shoehorning something different into that model. Your current proposals are parasitism.
