It was with too hard to get a BIP processed in the past, and now people put BIPs on a pedestal.
But BIPs are author documents. They don't present community consensus, they're the authors’ personal recommendation to the Bitcoin community, especially in Draft status.
It's good that we get a few controversial BIPs. It helps to make it clear that it's still the readers’ responsibility to make up their mind.
