The problem is that the pollsters rarely design the poll in a way that
encourages thinking at all, let alone conveying the line of thought to
the pollster. And pollsters generally just report the numerical
results.
Eg, the Gentoo poll is actually a sort of non-binding vote, as I
understand it. For their purposes, it makes sense to just report
numerical results, and they do allow comments. A quick perusal of the
comments resulted in zero interesting content beyond the votes (there
was a long subthread that depended on the misconception that LaTeX
source is divided into paragraphs by newlines, the rest of the
comments just reiterated "I do/don't like the feature"). I don't
think it is of much interest to the Emacs maintainers.
If you want to encourage use of polls, then you should set standards
for design and reporting of these polls.
