You seem to seen Control functionin as a sort of unspecific access requirement which is usually more the role of the Power Modifier.

In the RAW description of Control, it's not about improving finesse with other abilities within a Power. You would use Talent for that and not bundle it into a portmanteau ability.

I feel like we're talking past each other and I want an interpreter. Like, it seems like we're thinking about this in sufficiently different terms that we aren't communicating.

It also feels like you're looking at this in purely mechanical terms (though I may be wrong about that), and I'm thinking about it in both mechanical and fluff terms.
