I'm a bit confused about the conclusion. Seems to me the cited reason have mostly in common the fact that a centralized system is easier and faster to evolve, and that private companies have more focus on pleasing the widest audience ("use this product because it is made by a for-profit organisation" isn't a thing).

It is indeed political, but i see it more as a need for distributed systems governing bodies to improve rather than for regulation of centralized ones.
