People talk about the need for a clear design focus, leadership and ... things go on as before. That is D in a nutshell. People doing what they want, whenever and things stay the same.

D does NOT need a top-down, authoritarian, corporation like vision imposed on it (which would solve all the issues you mention).
D is an open source, meritocratic community of people, who drive the project forward.
Some (like you apparently) seem to think that a lack of authoritarianism puts D at a disadvantage - I simply disagree.
It may mean, that (some)things progress more slowly, and the overall vision is less certain - but that's exactly how I like it.
D 'emerges' from its community. It's is not imposed on its community.
