That's a good point. Right now Steemit has the resources and influence to 'impose' their vision, so long as it's not too philosophically different from what other major stakeholders approve of.
Eventually there will be other privately funded dev teams with the resources to pitch an alternative vision if the can build witness support for it. There will need to be many more full time developers outside of Steemit working on Steem for it not to be up to Steemit.
