Right.  And since the largest problem is with the largest operators
(because they have the biggest impact), a solution they aren't likely to
adopt is probably a waste of precious working group resources.

It's not "marketing" to decide to abandon a protocol that nobody will
actually use.  Rather, it's a highly pragmatic engineering (and working
group) decision.
