The WHATWG process isn’t democratic. There’s no voting on issues. Instead, Hixie acts as a self-described benevolent dictator who decides what goes into and what comes out of the spec. That sounds, frankly, shocking. The idea of one person having so much power should make any right-thinking person recoil. But here’s the real kick in the teeth: it works.

You can't really kick every set of teeth in the world, so this is more like sheer luck if we have a "good" dictator that brings foreth the correct thing (retrospectively speaking). Apple is yet another example.
