I think you describe the essence of the problem: there is a big gap between the community and the Wikimedia Foundation.
I have a long list of problems from the past years that all seem to originate in this basic problem. The Wikimedia Foundation is too much de-attached from the community. At the same time I notice that since last year, Lila is trying to improve this situation, but there is a very very long way to go to move the Wikimedia Foundation away from the dark side of the moon. (To prevent generalisation: I know also a lot of staff in WMF that are closely involved in the community and doing a great job in being attached with the community.)
