Why are the "pillars" non-negotiable?
Who created the "pillars"?

NPOV and Freedom of content are listed here and date back to Nupedia.
"Wikipedia is an encyclopedia" has been around since early 2002.
"Wikipedia has a code of conduct" and "Wikipedia does not have firm
rules" have been established over time (in the last 3 years or so) by
the English Wikipedia community as a way of ensuring that the entire
thing actually works.
