Fair enough, they do not own bitcoin, we can set up a rival group etc etc, but I read earlier that they pay Gavin's salary as the lead dev for the bitcoin project. Noone will deny that he deserves to get paid and does a top job, but it's a bit worrying when you have a foundation which has very little confidence put in it by the community being Gavin's 'boss', and have the fate of the currency at their mercy.
One day, I hope Gavin earns enough to buy a small island in the South Pacific where he can live out his days with 12 young wives serving him mojitos on the beach. His stewardship of Bitcoin has been exemplary.
There would be nothing stopping a "rival" foundation "outbidding" to pay Gavin. Or even paying him in addition to his TBF income.
