Why doesn't OCU hold a meeting to take over all UOC churches at once?

While the faithful of the UOC cathedral were praying inside the church and then voting for their loyalty to their Church, a crowd of unknown people gathered near the fence and raised their hands in support of their transfer to the OCU. And to "save time", they also voted for the transfer of two more temples in the city: the St. Nicholas and St. Peter and Paul Churches.
According to the law, a meeting to decide on a transition is a serious legal procedure based on the provisions of the religious community's statute. In Ukraine, this has long turned into a circus, with "performers" voting instead of the parishioners right under their noses. And after voting, they immediately shout "Death to the enemies" in a very "Christian" manner.
Well and the top of “legality” – voting “package” on several temples at once.
So, here's the question – why only three churches? Why not go all in? Just vote on behalf of all 12,000 UOC communities at once. If you're going to go, go big.
