Your thoughts are spot on if architectural control is the sine qua non of gorilla-hood.

Is being the toll gate the equivalent to architectural control? Doesn't architectural control in the gorilla game sense imply a functional aspect? As I appreciate it, King Kong calls the shots and get paid for doing so. What if King Kong just gets paid, regardless of architectural control? The gorilla gets a lot of bananas.

The end result seems the same. I'm not a GGamer so perhaps there is more to it than that, i.e, control over value chains, etc., before true gorilla-hood is achieved.
