Gecko is no more "community driven" than chromium. Mozilla has just as much control over it. You could argue that Mozilla is better company, but that's a separate argument.
Mozilla is fundamentally a non profit foundation. It's not perfect, but it's not remotely comparable to commercial companies like Google and Microsoft that have a clear conflict of interest. I would personally prefer if Firefox was a true community effort, but having it as imperfect as it may be is still vastly better than not.
