That transparency is meaningless. Think about why the block size is not large, why we have to run our own nodes, why distributed ledgers are important.

Adam Back planted a backdoor and it reminds me Eth and the DAO. It doesn't really matter who will open the backdoor. There exists rug, it will be pulled.

That trade-off is unacceptable. It will repeat the history of gold. If you consider EO6102, I believe you can agree with me.

Of course, not every Bitcoin companies are opportunistic. For me, "freedom" is the key.

Also, not every opportunists are bad guys. I don't think Michael Saylor is malicious, I think he just wants to get rich and be a successful businessman. At the same time, I don't think he is good for Bitcoin and freedom. (I think that the others who I mentioned are bad for Bitcoin and freedom, though)
