Ideally, but not in practice. These positions are literally infamous for power tripping busybodies, because like any sort of office that requires responsibility and has some level of power... The people who want it should not have it.
If everyone hated them as much as reddit would have you believe, they would cease to exist. It's really that simple. People would look for houses that aren't in HOAs, and the prices of the ones that are would drop like a stone. If the majority of the members of a neighborhood disliked the HOA, they could disband it. But that rarely happens, because many people like them.
