If it is discretional, then we should not protest if our priest chooses to include it even after we suggest it could be eliminated.
I don’t see how it helps to provoke those who we find to be uninformed (or misguided or obstinate) by trying to force them to opt for the option that we prefer.
We should first focus on ensuring the essentials are licitly offered.
If the non-essentials are licit but poorly done, we should be wary of the temptation to insist on changes we prefer but that are not mandatory.

That hasn’t worked in the last 50 years and our Holy Masses have grown more and more innovative. Now, Our children think that holding hands and Orans for the laity are perfectly normal.
Time to take back our Holy Mass. We ALL participate, not just the priest. If it’s not to YOUR liking, talk to the priest and if he still insists on innovations, talk with your feet and your checkbook.
