Completely disagree. They have even more to gain by being in absolute control, and bitcoin cannot be completely controlled, unlike a financial instrument which can be adjusted at the whim of the court systems and by decree from a central institution

There is no central court or institution. Trillionaires don’t trust those things. The only absolute control is in themselves. The principal agent problem is not solvable at that level.
Trillionaires still work in teams; they don't operate in a vacuum. Their influence extends throughout government, which is how they enforce their will, using the police, military, and court systems.
