With that rationale, why would we need a process

Well, it makes sockpuppetry harder. Other than that, it really isn't needed.
Are there more people who share that opinion? I always thought RfA
mattered *somehow*.
Don't know, I'm only speaking for myself.
So you're basically saying: The community is good
enough to be called upon
to express their trust initially, but they can never express a change of
heart regarding that trust? Sounds weird.
It's not a concept without precedent. Lots of US judicial positions
work that way, for instance.
The status quo in US politics may not be the *gold standard* we'd want
to model Wikipedia after.
I think the US judicial system has held up pretty well. Taking pot
shots at anything related to the US is unhelpful.
