Again, "want" is, I think, doing too much lifting there. There can be a lot of "we'd rather play this game even if we find this particular part fairly annoying" that goes on, so if one person is willing to make an issue of it, and most of the rest of the group either doesn't care or feels the same but doesn't want to risk the GM throwing in the towel, the GM is still going to be the one that wins that one, even if he's, in practice, the minority there.
Looking at it as a contest where one sides wins, is I think part of the problem. The way I see it, if someone is running a game, they are putting in a lot of work, and if I like their style or simply get along well enough with them that I trust them to run something outside my wheel house, as a player I will adapt to what they are trying to do. And if it is something that I don't want, I simply wouldn't play. And I think if you genuinely aren't enjoying a GM's style, you really aren't doing them any favors by acting as though there isn't a problem when there is one. Sometimes styles and approaches are misaligned. Doesn't mean the player is doing anything wrong, doesn't mean the GM is doing anything wrong
