The DNC completely controls every aspect of the primary process.

Yes they do. Through this charter.

https://democrats.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/DNC-Charter-Bylaws-03.12.2022.pdf

Nor is the DNC committed to any kind of fairness and openness.

Article 2: Section 4. The National Convention shall...(b) assure that delegations fairly reflect the division of preferences expressed by those who participate in the Presidential nominating process,

Section 4. The National Chairperson shall serve full time and shall receive such compensation as may be determined by agreement between the Chairperson and the Democratic National Committee. In the conduct and management of the affairs and procedures of the Democratic National Committee, particularly as they apply to the preparation and conduct of the Presidential nomination process, the Chairperson shall exercise impartiality and evenhandedness as between the Presidential candidates and campaigns. The Chairperson shall be responsible for ensuring that the national officers and staff of the Democratic National Committee maintain impartiality and evenhandedness during the Democratic Party Presidential nominating process.

Section 12. All meetings of the Democratic National Committee, the Executive Committee, and all other official Party committees, commissions and bodies shall be open to the public, and votes shall not be taken by secret ballot or use of the unit rule

The DNC is completely regulated by the billionaires.

Regulations require laws or charters. The elected delegates to the national convention elect the membership of the DNC as well as the nominee. That would be the same nominee who as president raised taxes on corporations despite having a razor this senate majority to work with including 2 who later became independents. Weird that the billionaires forced the DNC to adopt principles that taxation should "clearly be based on ability to pay".

Section 17. Democratic Party Credo.

We believe it is the responsibility of government to help us achieve...a society where taxes are clearly based on ability to pay;
