Do I want the church to be popular, so teens can live in sin without guilt? You know, in the premortal world, there was a plan that was offered to allow people to eat, drink and be merry without agency or accountability, but it was rejected.

Do you want the Church to as unpopular as radical Muslims?
Do you oppose the fact that the Church extended the priesthood to all worthy males? It sounds as if you want as harsh and horrible an environment as possible with camel hair underwear to prove one's worthiness.
Things don't have to be unappealing and awful to show understanding. Under your vision, the Church would wither away and die.
Presentation doesn't matter to you?
