Open-ended questions will continue to be welcome on Stack Overflow, with the parameters to be defined by the community.

The community repeatedly told you that such questions should not be welcome at all, and that that was precisely how were were "defining the parameters": none of this, please.

The staff and owners have repeatedly ignored this overwhelming consensus across multiple meta posts, so I can't take posts like this one seriously. It is simply not a good-faith interaction. You (collectively) are presenting yourselves as caring about something that you clearly do not at all care about.

And as long as that is the case, there is no more incentive to use the site normally.

Put simply, this expansion is needed if we want Stack Overflow to persist.

I don't think it will persist anyway. But regardless, if this is what's required, I would rather it didn't.
