Unable or unwilling?

I.e. did they take any action to try and stop said feature removal?

None of them is an active developer, designer or anything close to actual development. They are mostly doing administrative things.

So I wouldn't expect any actual involvement from any foundation member in the way the code evolves unless it was brought to their attention by others.

I believe the GNOME Foundation board is unable. It is meant to manage the money not the people. I believe it was set up in a similar to the Debian Project in that the "real" power is in the hands of the developers not the administrators.

That is correct. To the extent the board has any actual technical power, that is entirely delegated to the release team anyway.

Yes, that is correct. The board only manages the release team and that is pretty much the extent of the board's involvement in technical matters. (in reality, the board doesn't really interfere with the release team for the most part)
