What makes them like that?

It is not uncommon for controlling personality types to have been raised in homes where little controls exists - total chaos. Many times these people are older or the oldest of children and had to become the 2nd or 3rd parent. By controlling everything they can (and grasping to control some things they cannot or should not), they hope to find the predictability and security that every child needs for a balanced development.
It's a tough, common problem. Offering these personalities praise for their ability to 'multi-task' and 'lead' as well as showing respect for their 'burden' goes a long way to helping them to let go and trust people.
Best wishes!

YOu're going to get a million different takes on this, But mine is that control is for insecure people who feel like things are goign to go to hell and burn if they don't handle it.

they themselves are out of control, it's total abuse! they are afraid of letting things out of control so they take control, it means they are weak.

is it because they want to control everything or is that your perception that they want to control everything?

insecure, with little faith in others, self reliant when nobody else is reliable.
