"I've tried explaining these as applications that no one controls, but that has a wild west connotation that isn't applicable."

it's also a statement that's simply not true. the parties that usually control financial and legal systems might not control it. it might be the case that no single person or single organization controls it. but to say that "no one controls" it is false. there are people whose input controls it. if that were not the case, it would not be useful.
