One thing you should understand is that there is no platform that is not lead by someone that will succeed so much, I know you will want to use bitcoin as an example on what you are trying to say, but even till today there is a team in charge of releasing bitcoin upgrades called the bitcoin core, and even though they never created the bitcoin code, they have always been in charge of maintaining the code, so it's a good thing that CZ is putting it open himself to make sure the project succeed.
