They do have a disproportionate voice, primarily because the operator of the edge network (where these addresses would be used) is disenfranchised from the IETF. Yes the ox of the app developer is being gored here, but the alternative to a few in the middle is goring the masses at the edge. There is nothing more here than simple cost/benefit analysis being done by one side, rather than from the perspective of the system as a whole.
