Do you mean not very intellectually respected (partly because he rarely participates in discourse with other EAs) or not very respected in general?
I do feel like these are quite close in our community. I think people respect him as a relatively competent speaker and figurehead, though also have a bunch of hesitations that would naturally come with that role. I also think he is probably more just straightforwardly respected in the UK, since he had more of a role in things over there.
And people would definitely trust him more than like a random stranger.
