To be fair, one of the definitions of "control" is to "determine the behavior or supervise the running of."
So I think a fair case could be made that the software signing keys determine the behavior of the installation when their signatures decide whether or not a binary will be accepted by the hardware. You can say that they don't do much actual work, sure, but neither do real-world managers who merely sign off on projects and nobody disputes whether or not they "control" things.
And I know I'm being really pedantic about the word meanings here, but I'm also pretty sure that arguments of the same form are regularly entertained by courts.
