If IESG people were to personally benefit from their exercise of this
"privilege" you'd have a valid gripe.
Personal gain is not the only motive; power can be its own motive. The
gripes are validated by cases of abuse of privilege.
If there's no obvious personal interest, whether a particular case is a
valid exercise of discretion or an abuse of privilege is rather
subjective. For those who think a particular case is in the latter
category, we have an appeals process.
