We live in a bureaucratic society, and if you want to get something done, you either play the game or overthrow the government. Sulking silently just doesn't cut it.
I think you'll find that it is not a legal requirement to undertake a PIA and is not a 'necessary' part of the process but an 'advisable' one. For example, you might use it to illustrate 'openness'. If you feel a process that is being bought by 'the other side' to be of value, fair enough. I don't.
