Wait, what? Centrism makes it easier to propose changes to the status quo, because most effective and feasible improvements to the status quo are essentially orthogonal wrt. the whole left vs. right political spectrum.
The most effective improvements are frequently a disjoint set relative to the most feasible ones.
Centrism focuses on feasibility, and on incrementalism. The possibility that We're Just Doing It Wrong isn't a part of that worldview, and so should it turn out that we are, in fact, doing it wrong, centrism will never address it.
Put differently, centrism is philosophically equivalent to a local minimum/maximum from which any significant change makes things worse than the status quo (and legitimately so). This metric fails to note that there are better minima/maxima that are reachable, but only if things get worse for (hopefully a short) period of time.
First, actual real world political spectrum is not even on the neat left right scale.
Second, the actual role centrist do is to actively work against improvements. They do not say "I think it is infeasible, but good luck". They say "trying to do this is wrong".
