It's because Mojang gives extremely vague descriptions and then forces you to vote based on that.
Like this year it's
A penguin - makes your boat faster. Okay. How much faster? 2%? 200%?
An armadillo - wolf armour. Okay. How much protection does it add? Will your wolf gain the ability to take one more hit? Or will it double the HP?
A crab - extends reach. Okay. How many blocks? A singular block? Is it only for placing, or also breaking?
Mojang: great questions! We will announce it all after you vote! Good luck, idiots!
Honestly, that isn't even an issue, not knowing what they actually do. The biggest problem is that nothing that is voted for will be so important or feature-rich that they couldn't just do all of them up in an afternoon.
