We're very deep into Junior Lawyer territory here.

I'm not. I'm simply refuting *any* argument that starts with "because
it's useful to the community".

Could you answer the question, please?  Are you saying that you are
unaware, or do not believe that you have already given the IETF a
permanent license for all of your I-Ds and all your other IETF
contributions, which means it can publish them any way it wants
whether you like it or not?

I definitely have IDs that predate the new policies, and did not transfer rights to the IETF for those.

This horse left the barn so long ago that the barn has long since
been torn down and replaced by a parking lot.

So could you answer this question - do you pirate DVDs too? That horse also left the barn, and presumably wild horses determine what you think is both legal and appropriate.
