What you need to understand is that Spork 21 and its origins is actually a very cleverly thought-out strategy by Ryan Taylor to finally allow the Dash governance mechanism to work in a truly decentralised and autonomous way.
Sporks were invented by Evan Duffield in 2015 to avoid getting into a situation where the Dash network unintentionally forks during large updates, which then puts users / masternode operators / exchanges / miners / merchants at risk. By using sporks Dash can prevent all that, while still doing hard forks and if large updates cause unintentional side effects the option is then available for the Dash Core Team to roll back to Dash
network to a safe state.
In time these sporks will need to more decentralized (they are now merely manually flips from persons within Dash Core Group), but for now i see no problem using sporks to guide the Dash network safely through
some very large updates.
