 No lies detected.  It is indeed still a centrally controlled toy.  It needs to transition to a transparent, community driven, FLOSS project. The problem is that the elite devs have persuaded themselves they've done that already, but they have work to do, and no one wants to do it. 
 Of course I agree and can understand this train of thought very well, but please don't forget that we are still very early in this matter and something like this develops over a long period of time. If you think in a limited way and can't see this potential it's just natural and perfectly acceptable, Rome wasn't built in one night either. To give a simple example, I will come up with "wavlake" and if you have noticed how these large centralised companies exploit the people they select for themselves, talent falls by the wayside.... Far too much talent is being wasted by a flawed system. If we are completely honest and look at it from a bird's eye view, we have no choice and have to take it as it comes, but we can influence how it comes. I have realised what a blessing this protocol is, because we can stop it if something doesn't suit us. But this is only possible if we all work together and realise that we have to free ourselves from this social parasitism. 

Let's look for solutions to the mistakes that shouldn't exist!
