The main reason for not enabling voting everywhere is that votes need to be considered a source of input in the planning process. If votes do not influence decisions, users just get fooled.
Yes. Absolutely agreed. Let's not have it just as a feel-good thing that isn't really influencing anything.
My current feeling is that votes in bug reports do not influence any decisions, so I personally support switching them off entirely.
I'd like to keep them at least for the Wikidata-related bugs. The votes there are taken into account.
