I have no stake here, but I'll just point out that "professional" can also be interpreted as "entrenched norms that led to waste and diffusion of responsibility", and "dedicated" can be code for "vested interest spinning the wheels that have been going nowhere". These are features of any large organization, not just government. Any disruption that seeks to destroy such wasteful norms by refocusing on direct language and meaningful goals will look "unprofessional" to "dedicated" workers.
