Putting the whole op_return debate/argument to one side, I’m surprised at how centralised Bitcoin is in general. I never realised that a group of individuals basically run it. As a pleb I assumed Bitcoin just ran itself, however as we are witnessing it can actually be meddled with.

Core devs can ONLY meddle with their implementation of the protocol. Afterwards, CONSENSUS emerges. It CONSTANTLY emerges, endlessly. Currently, it’s debated, yes, but there is only so much that "a group of individuals" can do. What #bitcoin will become is up to the network as a whole, ALL individuals participate.

No. The node runners run Bitcoin. We can just drop Core, and more devs go to Knots. We just need wise mainteners like Luke who respects what Bitcoin is.
