Monopoly control isn't required to exert a significant influence over a

Setting aside consideration of the desirability of what's suggested, given
the ease with which software-based AGIs can clone themselves how could "a
body of broadly-visionary agent-population-control systems" actually
exercise monopoly control over the creation of new agents? Reminds me of
Monsanto trying to control the propagation of 'their' seeds :)
