And they do have control because they can say "if you allow that computer to play in your event, your event won't be FIDE-rated." And that will turn away anyone wanting a "norm"... which will mean that computers won't be invited or allowed because of all the FM-wannabe-IM and IM-wannabe-GM players that would avoid tournaments with no norm available. But as I said, years ago FIDE voted to allow computers in, but with a huge price.
