No. The thing they control is the signing key which modern PCs trust by
default. But that does not represent full control of the boot loader by
any means: you can disable secure boot, generally very easily (I have
done it a number of times for pragmatic reasons, most recently this
evening as a temporary measure).
You can also install your own keys.
