I don't think the issue with ECMA or any other standards body was a question of losing control as much as it was not wanting to get it mired down in a slow, protacted standardization process at a time when Java needs to be nimble and responsive. As new needs and opportunities are identified in the move to enterprise Java, someone needs to define a standard and get it circulated quickly so that people can move forward around a common approach. We have already seen a few lumps over EJBs not getting pinned down and staying put -- through many of the standards bodies, this could have taken an additional two years which could easily be fatal.
