So, you're saying we have an inactive or unresponsive FCC either incapable of or refusing to take care of basic tasks for their customers?
I'd phrase it differently.
The amateur community is "easy", and the number of "annoyed" hams (who would make big stink) are comparatively few. And when they do "make a stink," they do it on eHam, QRZ, or some similar forum where only other hams see it. They don't complain to their Representatives or Senators very often, or make a big deal in the general press. And the general press doesn't follow amateur radio very much, unless it's Field Day (and clubs want to earn the 100 bonus points for a press release and coverage) or there is some heroic rescue that could
only have been enabled by ham radio (not that it was simply used).
So the squeaky wheel gets the grease, whether it's SpaceX (for Starlink) who seems to be the "hot ticket" now, or the recently-incessant "political" complaints about Internet censoring (from both sides) aka the section 230 debate, or all the folks complaining about their cellular coverage by AT&T/Verizon/T-Mobile/whoever.
