this is probably the only valid criticism in this thread so far. But your statement is not entirely correct:

- An organization different from Helium Inc. disperses keys to hardware manufacturers.

- Said independent org also performs an audit and approval process.

- Improvements to the network are crowdsourced and voted by rough consensus.

- Anybody can make suggestions or implementations similar to ethereum improvement proposals.

- Once deployed, there is no way to remove the node from the network.

- Nobody has banning or revocation abilities.
