In what way is Bitcoin "more easily controlled" than Monero?

As for Monero being easier, I literally spent a morning this week resyncing the entire Monero blockchain because the db file got corrupted. I've been running Bitcoin nodes since 2012 and have never had to do that, because file corruption only affects individual blocks and crashes only affect the tip of the chain. 

I've also hosted a Lightning node for two years. It's not that hard.
