But why can't you fork it and take it in the direction you want? The situation is literally no different from Python or Node or Ruby, the people running the most popular distribution could take it in a direction you don't like and the power you have (or the only option you have) is forking.

The development for a language like python happens entirely in public though, and is driven by consensus.

https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang - "The official repo for the design of the C# programming language" that's in public.

Infront of the public, yes, but it says you need to be invited by someone from their team to participate yourself, compare that with the python process.

There's a distinction to be made between doing something in public and something being done by the public.
