It is. But enough of them still think that going full statehood brings other evils and they’re content with the sublevel of protection they have. And that is their right, we shouldn’t force it on anyone who doesn’t want it.
Some of the votes were problematic because of boycotts, turnouts, and how the ballots were phrased or what they offered to vote on. I don’t know what would be best for them, but that’s also why I only think the offer should always be on the table and let them decide.
A big part of the issue that is also affecting other states is mentioned in that article, the capping of the House numbers. We do not have proper representation in numbers that can handle the population (and that doesn’t even get into gerrymandering).

meh, you can use the same excuses every time they have an election to avoid doing anything.

Didn’t their last vote on it get 57% for statehood? I think it just wasn’t approved by Congress
