Edit: Based on the downvotes, you obviously didn't. This is a PROPOSAL, not a LAW. It needs to be voted by the EU Parliament (you know, one of the 3 components of democracy as in "separation of powers").
Voting once every 5 years for groups which are organised cross-country, but not letting citizens vote cross-country, and this being the only democratic organ and the one with the least power, with no consequences for any of them breaking election promises, is imho not “letting the people decide”, but “oligarchy with the illusion of choice”
And those politicians there form their own little interest groups across members states and vote accordingly, which is the exact opposite of what we think of democracy.
You'd basically have to rely on magic to know how those politicians you vote in will decide to vote on because they join some sect that lobbies them to vote against your interests.
And we all know no voter aside from the 1% will ever think this far. It's exactly like you called it, the illusion of choice
Anyone that uses Okta should be accepting the fact that they have outsourced a huge chunk of responsibility of their job onto an enterprise company.
These github links are not open source projects, these are public readable software projects. You do not control any of it, you have to deal with internal company politics like "# PRs opened", "# Bugs solved" for the developers' next performance review.
