It gives me the impression that you find "the tech community" to be a cohesive collective that has the organization to switch gears in a given direction.

I wonder why you expect it to be like that.

In reality, "the tech community" is extremely diverse and not cohesive at all.

For one example, a large proportion of developers are barely making enough money to pay their most basic bills. They don't have enough mental space to even know what NSO is...
