This is just a vote for distrusting the community. If you think there's
"power" in being able to merge things, and that organizations will abuse
this power, then you vote for distrust.

However, I don't think PTLs have power to censure anybody nor do they
have absolute arbitration powers. They break ties. Whatever discretion
they have can almost certainly be overridden by the TC according to this:

"...  if a given debate cannot be clearly resolved, the PTL can decide
the outcome. Although the TC is generally not involved in team-internal
decisions, it still has oversight over team decisions, especially when
they affect other teams or go contrary to general OpenStack goals."

So I think if a PTL were to act improperly in a way that the project
team disagreed with, it would be well within the right and charter of
the TC to intervene as part of oversight.
