Yes that’s quite true, but you appeared to be saying that ICANN sets the rules for the Internet ("controls"), and so my point is that huge changes in the Internet regularly take place with no direct relevance to ICANN. Personally I see the Internet as this vast expanse of permissionless innovation and so characterising it as a space controlled by a few bodies such as ICANN (or the IETF for that matter) does it a great injustice.
