Democracies under threat around the globe

why is democracy being seen as an end and not a means? isn't the goal supposed to be to raise the standard of living of people in developing or emerging economies, to reduce income inequality, to combat climate change, and/or to improve support and infrastructure for disadvantaged people and their communities?

in a state with limited political goodwill, why isn't more effort spent on actually benefiting the people instead of maintaining institutions that evidently degrade the minute attention shifts away from them?
