Also there's absolutely nothing preventing another dev team forming.  You could do it yourself.  In fact, I've suggested before that you need to prove your ideas work by building them, rather than just constantly whining about how no one does it the way you want it done.  Do it.  Form a dev team.  Create some code.  Make whatever ridiculous, broken, mind-numbingly stupid shit you want.  No one can stop you.

your mindset is for anyone whom wants to develop outside of the core dev team, can do so by forking off and creating an altcoin and see who joins the new network created
If we don't like the rules in Bitcoin, we even have the power to fork ourselves off the network and start a brand new currency of our own.
 If you really felt that strongly about your purported moral high ground, you wouldn't have stuck around.  But you know in order to stand by your beliefs, you would have to sacrifice the security and the network effects we offer you.  Your alternative would be to form a weaker network.
You want different rules?  Create a fork and do it.  So others did exactly that.

you do not tolerate any dev team to create an implementation that runs on the bitcoin network that has its own upgrade proposals for the bitcoin network that differ from the core roadmap

you are a politics protector not a protocol protector

you have no idea about the byzantine generals problem or how bitcoins blockchain came as a solution to it
where instead of telling opposing minded generals to f**k off instead different generals(implementations) proposed their plan/mission and the majority would decide which mission is best and go with that mission. in a cooperative manner where generals work side but side not opposite from each other

..its called consensus. coming to an agreement.. not contention

as for core, you have show many times that you believe core should be allowed to upgrade the network unopposed, and allowing core to do as they please because its their code and no one should tell them what to do.

that is the same mantra of an authoritarian/tyrant supporter who things a leader should be ahead of all and no one should advice him to step aside, or change their minds
..
thus you love the idea to be an authoritarian and unopposed dictator where everyone should just follow core (central point of failure)
