The idea that judges shouldn't be elected is deeply rooted in the reactionary ideology of an aristocracy that believed the masses shouldn't be trusted with any decisions that actually matter and should be regarded with suspicion instead of trusted with decisions.

Judges shouldnt be elected for the same reasons surgeons shouldnt be elected.

I'm sure as hell I'd want to choose between surgeons. For example, I'd easily choose the one not trafficking organs.
