Why do they need to make so many hardforks? Couldn't they think things through for a month and implement changes at once and then rethink again six months later? I mean 19 hardforks in about one year is a lot.

It is a new platform, and they are looking to improve things. There is nothing wrong with hardforking if it improves the platform.
I'm not saying there is anything wrong or that things shouldn't be improved, I'm just saying they could be making a list of changes and apply them every 6 months, you know how stressful number 17 was and people left because of it, then this 19 comes along only a few weeks later, who can say it won't cause more trouble ? Would it not be better to have the changes happen at once maybe every 6 months? Then I would know ok, it will stall or any other problem but it won't happen again until 6 months.
The majority of the people in the community are actually pushing for the exact opposite. People don't want huge forks with tons of changes. They would rather have lots of smaller ones broken up.
Did you make a poll?
It is discussed informally (not via an actual 'poll'). If you look at a lot of the past @steemitblog announcements regarding HFs there are a lot of users complaining about too many changes in the HFs and how it should be broken down into many smaller ones.
I remember reading these. Also, a plethora of big changes makes it hard to pin down what goes wrong... or right.
It's a bit different than other hf I think. This is more of a republic with the size of the user base, and changes are wished for all the time. These HF are more like tweaks to get things perfected
