Like other posters, I do not agree on this. Vitalik is not the most influential person in the process atm. This is not meant as an offense, but is it possible that your view is derived mainly from mainstream media?
I see an urge in media to attribute everything to certainposterboys/figureheads/heroes. They often depict Vitalik as something akin to a CEO or decision maker where there simply is not such a thing. He appears in interviews, gets cited an so on. I really admire him and think he has a lot of really interesting views, but to think he (alone or mostly) defines what Ethereum is going to be is plain wrong.
I encourage you to follow some of the developer calls which are publicly streamed on Youtube (most notable the biweekly All Core Devs). Then you'll get the sentiment.
Same goes for Ethereum Foundation which is just an organisatory framework for the development process and has no agenda on its own. It is also no development team itself, but the place where the different development teams meet and coordinate.
So, if your criticism is that "all Ethereum Core devs" work together with the Ethereum Foundation - that is actually a good thing because it ensures that Ethereum as a whole evolves in a meaningful direction (or even evolves at all). This is way better in terms of openness, transparency and decentralisation than development by just one company (as many smaller blockchains have it).
