OpenGL wasn't designed by Khronos, rather it was designed by SGI and called GL. It was then given to Khronos and then maintained it.
OpenCL wasn't designed by Khronos either, rather it was designed by Apple and then given to Khronos to maintain. It was orphaned when Apple gave up on it, and not because of Kronos's leadership but rather Apple decided to go all in on Metal, their proprietary solution that did graphics and compute shaders.
Vulkan also wasn't fully designed by Khronos, rather it was based heavily on Molten from AMD, which was gifted to Khronos. It is much more widely used than Metal.
That said, benevolent dictators who are competent can out do committee decision making, but committee decision making is often better for an industry as a whole because it aligns different interest groups.
