The straighter stroker type players want to make the game more about accuracy.
The crankers want the game to be more about power.
The high rev players want more oil and the banning of hook monster balls.
The lower rev players want less oil and particle balls or whatever generation of new coverstock that comes along that helps them generate more power.
High-speed players want less oil and aggressive balls.
Low speed players want more oil and less aggressive balls.
Some of this is understandable in that most have developed a game that favors what they like in the game of bowling and what they feel the most important attribute should be.
And trying to reach a consensus of what is a proper balance is between these attributes is impossible.

If I can't score, it can't be me, can it???
2. To me, the way to change the game in my favor is to become more versatile. I've always been a stroker. My coach has gotten me to the realm of a tweener. My other coach is trying to give me a b/c game of a cranker. Voila - lane conditions don't matter "quite" as much any more.
What I want is to carry a 240 average when ALL around me carry 190.

Bowling? Of course it's a sport.

Proprietors have been trying to appease the masses the last 20 years and the sport has gone steadily down in participation during that time. But I'm afraid the (scoring) genie is out of the bottle and most want the shot they like.
