I've been running Istio for years and have never heard of Tetrate. Tetrate might be started by people who originally worked on Istio, but Istio itself is primarily driven by Google. Istio development is primarily driven by its steering committee [0][1], which is led by Google. If you look at the contributors [2], 6 of the top 10 are Google employees (perhaps more - not everyone lists their employer on GitHub). They have an open design process, posting design documents and similar to their Google Drive [3]. The team is likewise active at community events, where they solicit input that drives what they work on.
