It's certainly the case that the community has less and less of a say. Decisions are increasingly made behind closed doors or by committees rather than on Wikipedia itself. Professional bureaucrats doing their thing. I have to admit this is part of what makes this so galling. These people reap goodwill and money from the work of volunteers – using fundraising methods that have often been criticised as unethical by the latter – and then disenfranchise them on top of it. Wikipedia actually existed before the Wikimedia Foundation.
