Eh, painting and chess used to be Olympic sports. Shooting/air rifle still is. Break dancing requires more physicality than all of those.
I don’t particularly care about gatekeeping what activities are added/subtracted to the Olympics, as long as it’s competitive and entertaining to watch.
What pisses me off is the break dancing is considered an Olympic sport.

Why?
This is everything wrong with the Olympic committee.
They will put the games in whichever country bribes them most and they will put any “sports” in so long as they a wined and dined.
They will happily threaten sports that have been in the games since the greeks and bend and twist them till they’re unrecognizable.
