You are conveniently ignoring the facts that

elected officials are only allowed to vote on legislation put forth and that legislation is heavily influenced if not entirely written by corporate lobbyists.
lobbyists directly bribe their way to favourable outcomes
democratic processes are simply ignored when inconveniencing the powers that be - see v.d. Leyen never being on the ballot yet holding the highest office
corruption among high ranking EU officials is like a mafia, and they do not hold elected positions but get appointed, so they can't be voted out.
