I see in this the fruit of Vatican II which is most often overlooked: that laypeople have opinions about liturgy and are vocal about these opinions exactly as though we should have a say in it.

Agreed. But I think many clerics weren't (and still aren't) ready for this development. They opened up the Church to more lay opinions and were shocked to find the laity... have opinions. And it seems like the Vox Populi is a stronger force than anticipated. Like any ecumenical council, it will probably take generations for the Church to really integrate VII into the life of the Church.
