I was just wondering with the potential financial leverage that for instance Chrunchyroll and Netflix could have if they can increase Western consumption of Anime, do you think they would be be involved in exercising more creative control over Anime content to make it make it, in their eyes, more commercially palatable for Western audiences?

You sure are new to this. The answer is no. Why? It's simple. Anime's popular overseas because western consumers like the same stuff as the Japanese for the most part, and they wouldn't have it any other way. Besides, Crunchyroll has been streaming anime for all ages since the early days, so is not like they don't know already what their audience wants. And should they step out of line, consumers will just turn to piracy and their stock will plummet.
