Austin Hill, CEO of Blockstream, will soon have a monopoly on Bitcoin development.

Open-source projects have something called 'maintainers'. These are people who decide what goes into the code. If everyone pegs their BTC to the sidechain, it will have a network effect. Bitcoin will die and the sidechain will become Bitcoin2?

You need to go and look at how the blockchain and networks actually work, there have been many attempts to fork the blockchain, as for making a new one that's called an altcoin no matter how people try to spin it.
