Sorry, I am doing a poor job communicating. I agree with your assessment of how the bazaar model works.

When I said "in this regard", the intent was to signal that "bazaar" explicitly doesn't mean an anarchic situation where all change is accepted. It's maybe more anarchic than the cathedral model, but it's controlled anarchy.

The reality is that most projects fall somewhere between the two models. The people most heavily invested in the projects tend to drive change, and this is sometimes at the behest of the community. That doesn't automatically make the project a cathedral.

Similarly, while Google controls the direction and funds the development of Fuchsia, our development process (which we publish on fuchsia.dev in the Governance section) is very much bazaar-like. This is difficult to see because we haven't been open about our processes, and we haven't engaged externally with developers. To that extent, we've been very much "cathedral". This expanded model is us inviting folks to join us in the bazaar.
