Bitcoin has enough dev power to implement any feature, the gatekeepers are the people running the node and to a smaller extent the developers and miners. There is a reason Bitcoin just is.

Do they though? As I understand it bitcoin has fundamental limitations that mean it will never be a distributed computer like ETH.

Bitcoin is like any other software, the limitation is only on a social level.

If it's a breaking change, you would need to convince enough people to migrate to Bitcoin2(similar to what's happening in ETH right now).
