My rationale is that these groups would (one would think) care more about
ICANN delivery issues (IPv6, IPv4 scarcity, IDNs, DNS security, scaling
issues) than with who-gets-what-TLD.

Every stakeholder group (except maybe the IPC) has a mix of big and small
players and regional diversity, the ISPC should not be immune from the
benefit of such broadening.
