The POA has a binary choice:
A. Represent an issue and agree with the developer
B. Represent an issue and disagree with the developer.
From a political point of view, Issue A may happen 80-90% of the time, and in that case there is nothing to change/do/no reason for being. Issue B may happen 10-20% of the time, and that is the goal to change the developer to see the point of the homeowners.
Now, for the POA to make an impact, 100% of their time must be spent on B issues, so the illusion of effort is that 100% is spent on 20% of the potential issues, and so the question for the home owner is:
Do you agree with the issues being represented? If yes, then continue to support. If no, then don't continue to support. But to disagree with the POA because they are 100% against the developer means you can't distinguish between all issues and POA issues.
There is no reality, there is only perception, and that perception is usually 100% yours, but yours is not 100% everybody else's.
Professional golfers present an illusion of effort as well. You watch pros on TV and only see the best shots, but that narrows as you get closer to the end where not everyone is playing. They make golf look incredibly easy. What you don't see or haven't seen is the hours, days and years of dedicated effort to reach the point of making golf look easy.
you are only judging on what you are seeing, without referencing what you haven't seen or can't see
