No, we are giving too much power to a certain tech company with a certain browser and OS which now has amassed so much power and influence, including participation in all important W3C working groups, they can basically do whatever they want. Given the Web as-is, and its growing importance, it even makes past misconduct of a certain other big tech company in order to try and get control over the Web look like child's play. And no, SSL cert authorities actually don't have much power at all. Everyone can be a cert authority (just make a properly set up certificate chain with something like OpenSSL and you are good to go) but the companies who have the ultimate authority by either accepting or rejecting cert authorities (or actually by accepting or rejecting their root certificates and/or control over the HSTS whitelist for global deployment) do, which brings me back to the point above. My two cents.
