Yes, of course. Because they do the job.
You, and anybody else, are free to create DCG-2, to do a better job, to ask for funding, and so on.
So, where is the problem? Why are you here?
What job did they do, apart from stringing along MNOs for years, blowing lots of treasury money and ultimately delivering expensive data contracts?
The dash dao is incapable of incentivizing or running competing projects. It hasn't happened yet, why you think now it's possible?
This is why dashd is NOT a protocol, no matter how much people wish it was. It's an open source product of DCG, nothing more. But wait, anybody are free to create a competing dashd, right? Show me, I'm eagerly waiting.
Let's be sure to understand, transactions are secured by PoW while governance by money alone. I dare DCG, the guardian of the dash product, to move governance to an ASIC resistant PoW algo.
