Could you expand on that any? What's your basis for that belief?

Ethereum has a difficulty bomb (mining becomes more difficult with time). This is a form of control from developers over blockchain. If miners refuse to cooperate, they are left with the blockchain which is more difficult to mine with time (and eventually unusable).

Sorry, that was my conclusion from seeing tweets and commends made by Vitalik and his team.

Besides the other response you received, there also seems to be a shift to PoS simply because PoW mining wastes a lot of electricity.
