Everyone in the room had debated the Final Solution for some time. And what happened was that Heydrich showed up with a solution, and more importantly the authority to pull it off.
If you watch the Wannsee movie Conspiracy, it's really a business meeting.

Comments
From 1939-41, they engaged in random mass violence at the war front.
In 1941, things changed as the government suddenly had a lot more Jews.
Heydrich shows up with a solution. When Eichmann runs the numbers, it's like any meeting where a brilliant solution to an intractable problem is presented.
All other options are dropped.
When folks look at Trump, they focus on his words, not the implications of policies being implemented by Bureaucrats.
That's the danger.
