I think the problem is that the vagueness of the type of commitment the GWWC represents. If it’s an ironclad commitment, people should lose a lot of trust in you. If it was a “best of intention” type commitment, people should only lose a modest amount of trust in you. I think the difference matters!
And the GWWC pledge seems to fit at a nice balance point between those two, where the cost is not so off-putting that no-one takes the pledge and not so non-committal that it’s meaningless
