I disagree. I think it makes it even more difficult for IETF
participants when every WG essentially has its own rules, and that's to
IETF's detriment in general.
Well, we seem to be okay with some working groups having design teams, most not; some working groups with one chair, most with two, a few with three; some use github, many do not; some do interims, many do not; etc.
I think it's a feature, not a bug, that we allow such flexibility.
