If it's the latter, don't those robotics teams deserve a say in the direction of FIRST? They didn't get it prior to this announcement.

I would say that you are posing either a false dichotomy, or have written an ill-formed question, or both.
"FIRST" is both of the entities you mentioned, and more. There is no "either/or" involved.
An analogy would be that my body doesn't have a vital organ, it has vital organs.
