Remember, the tinkering doesn’t change anything. The nodes (the market) have to adopt or reject the changes.
Do you want Saylor to be the arbiter of what bitcoin should be, or a free market of node runners who can accept or reject the proposals?
In the world, this is how innovation works: people tinker, come up with new ideas they bring to market, and the market decides whether or not they get adopted. Bitcoin itself is one of those ideas.
I actually think if it were to ossify, it would die. Not right away, but new technology (quantum computing, e.g.) might challenge it, and you’d have sent all the developers who might upgrade it home.
