Yes, it does bother (some) people to see the consensus based system
because of the difficulties that can be associated with implementing
it.  But that's the way it is.  If you don't like consensus based
systems (or decentralized, distributed systems) this is probably the
wrong space for you.

If consensus must be reached to make any changes, that just means that changes of anything more than trivial consequence simply can't be made. Extreme bias toward the status-quo will only work if external factors affecting the network also remain static.
