There's no such thing as "superdelegates" and that term needs to be retired

38. They are DNC insiders because they are members of a private organization.

They get to decide the rules and who is a member.

Just like I belong to an organization that is restricted to members in good standing. Even as a retiree I am a member because of the organization's constitution. And the organization at the local level determine their own bylaws which also allows for members at large for the executive board in addition to the executive officers. Those members at large are not voted on for the position on the executive board but because they were elected separately by different groups within the membership. While the executive officers are elected by the membership as a whole.

Our retiree chair is also an executive board member due to holding the office of retiree chair. The actives can't vote for that position. They can't vote to reject the person either.

Back to the DNC. The voters don't get to decide who are the officers because they are not members of the DNC. It is not a government agency. People like you and me don't get to dictate how the DNC functions. If you want a say you need to be a member. If you want to vote on who is a delegate to the national convention or decide who your member will be to the DNC you need to become a state convention delegate and vote for them.

Just like any organization you must meet the requirements to become a member. And if you are not a member you don't get to make changes to their organization.
