Sometimes "going to any lengths" means enduring the nonsense that goes
on all-too-often in AA meetings! If the guy really wants what's on
offer at that meeting, he'll return. If not, he should try other
meetings. Yes, newcomers will often not come back because they don't
want what they perceive is on offer. Can't say I blame them. But
it's a useful exercise in "I'm-not-God"ism.

Not much you can really do just now. Change the meeting itself?
Possible, but unless you've been a member of that group, and attending
regularly, for at least a few months yourself nothing'll change.
Maybe a quiet chat with the GSR would help, but that depends on the
GSR. If it really bothers you, vote with your feet and find another
meeting. Just by BEING in a meeting I feel I'm somehow endorsing what
goes on, so I also can sometimes feel extremely uncomfortable, and do
vote with my feet. The only people who can really influence what goes
on are the secretary and the GSR (despite what AA says about Tradition
2).
