Imagine i have a pencil which I'm holding in my hand. With my hand, I can control the position of the tip of the pencil. Now imagine the pencil is made of rubber. I can still control the position of the tip, but e.g. a strong wind can cause the pencil to flex and so the control is not perfect. But it is still control.

I don't see how this is fundamentally different from controlling the current through a transformer.
