I agree that Bitcoin has some big issues when it comes to governance. The mining is very centralised already and really has the bulk of the voting power concentrated in the hands of about a dozen groups. Bitcoin Core technically has no power at all, but a lot of users support (follow) them and so the mining groups have been wary of creating too much division.

But we will see what happens when the SegWit2x fork is due to happen in November. I suspect the Bitcoin Core will be discovered to be the emperor with no clothes in the end as it is the miners will hold the real power.
