They've had plenty of chances to at least make the books worth reading again and they keep dropping the ball. It wouldn't hurt to get some fresh creative voices overseeing things for a while. Just because there is no guarantee for positive results doesn't mean it shouldn't be tried.
You admit that while some comics are bad by our personal standards, some aren't. If you dock points for bad projects you have to credit the same people when they're responsible for the good. Yet they're given little if any goodwill for Rucka, Robinson, Busiek, Morrison, Azzarello, Casey, Pak, Yang, Adventures, or Johns. If you get into how well the stories turned out vs how they were treated, keep in mind that the "best" of them in what Morrison did could only stand to compete with the mediocre Batman stories Daniel and Jenkins did. Pak was clearly out of the top 50 before his first arc even finished. The "fresh voices" people seem to mention don't really get into him or Yang anyway, it seems.

Sorry if that all sounded argumentative, but I just think a valid point to acknowledge is that as much as we mention a regime change, it has a whole lot to do with who is or isn't buying. More so imo
