And what is stopping any of you from becoming the "center" of bitcoin? Nothing. There is no such thing as bitcoin's center. It is open source and you are free to start your own dev team and go to town.

company and mining monopolised?
In contrary. The monopoly of the core team is just breaking down, to be replaced by an oligopoly of those secure access to the team.

i dont think so. there is nothing stopping anyone setting up their own competitive companies or mining pools.
the problem i see is that the bitcoin community is filled too much by the young and unenergised. basically too many basement dwellers who would rather sit back and wait for others to do stuff instead of launching new projects themselves.
bitcoin is at the moment like the 1900's with very little industry and no competition. so if you dont like the fact that there is only one service that everyone uses.. then make a new service.

I certainly wouldn't call Bitcoin an open community effort at this point. 'Mining' has been monopolized, and most users interact with Bitcoin via some web service. This leaves a bulky, over extended internal protocol that requires huge processing power, and is inevitably going to cost much more in transaction fees. Going forward it's going to be more of a marketing effort by big banks to sell services, just like they always have.
