No one has that view. Bitcoin software developers don’t want you to bow down. If fact, they don’t care what you do. The knowledge they have that you don’t isn’t secret, it’s 100% out in the open and all changes are done through an open source rough consensus process done in public. If you don’t like that Bitcoin is Bitcoin Core, you can run software that some dude changed to better fit your liking and hope it turns out good for you.
