It shows a tendency of the active IETF discussants to resist doing the work of settling on policy for the IETF. That's quite different from demonstrating a lack of /need/. The IETF has been around for 26 years, and has had, I gather, zero removal requests to date. If that doesn't demonstrate

Note well, as you noted well, does not go back to the beginning of all IDs. I.e., this is a tangled mess of different copyrights, different note wells, etc., and it's not as simple as it's the IETF's right to do anything except - maybe - going forward with a new copyright statement for IDs.
