Well for one, quite frequently it's just one person with a strong personality trying to get their way.  What appears to be consensus is really just other people going along or that just don't care (and yes people have thanked me for standing firm against one person).  In other cases it's ignorance.The DM along with all their other hats is also a player that wants to enjoy the game.  If I'm not the right DM for the group, maybe someone else should judge.  Since I have a hard time keeping my groups down to 6 and once I get an established group it tends to last for years I'm not going to worry about it too much.No DM can be the right DM for all players, not all players are right for the group.</blockquote>
