I think you are way over-simplifying this game. There are times to bet and times to call. Of course that "taking control" is the default in most usual circumstances. However, There are many situations where "taking control" by betting is significantly less EV than other ways of action.

Maximizing EV is much more important then just "taking control". If it was only about "taking control" I wouldn't be posting this hand. I'm not saying that betting out in some point or other in this hand is a mistake, but I just don't agree with saying "take control", without giving a deep thought to the meaning of the word "control". And I don't think you've been giving it too much thought.
