yes but they only enjoy such power because the ancient form of the org was literally Free Masons -- a conglomerate of stoneworkers who rejected patronage. They quite literally built civilization in that they were the only people skilled in building proper buildings, especially for churches and other places of social gathering, and by not being patrons of a lord or church they were also free to pursue experimentation into new techniques and controlled sharing of existing ones. They were the original techbros.
