I think your problem is with representative democracy. Most issues are not taken all the way to the public floor.
> these questions are never addressed in public debates should not give an 'implicit consent'
In a western society whatever is not forbidden is allowed. In more oppresive regimes whatever is not allowed is forbidden.
There has been some press about e.g. SpaceX affecting astronomers, but by and large people don't care. And without the people pressuring them to not do it, the people's representatives, or people appointed by them, make their best judgement.
Regulators have the authority to grant launch and orbit permission just like the DMV (presumably) has authority on a whole bunch of driving license issuance rules and decisions. And how there aren't town halls to get input about the number of fire exits a building has to have.
