I would prefer that too, but the potential benefits from a synergistic relationship with TRON are pretty massive.  We would always have the option to fork TRON ourselves if CCP became a problem.

'What profit is it to a man to gain the whole world, but lose his soul?'

I see potential benefits.  I'm unwilling to trade censorship resistance for them.  I see free speech as an existential necessity, not a luxury, and I don't think it's ever easy to fork anything, much less contrary to the will of overlords. 

I have proposed that we make it obvious that Steem is more valuable to Tron without becoming an organ of it.  I think that is the best of all possible worlds for all concerned.

I reckon we should focus on making that happen.

How is this done beyond writing the occasional puff-piece?

We grow.  Social media has proved to be the most profitable business model the world has ever produced.  FAANGs prove it.  Steem, if it can become suitable for wider adoption and grow virally, will combine that business model with cryptocurrency.  Tron isn't interested in Steem as a currency, but if Steem enables outlets for Tron then that's one avenue for Steem to benefit Tron.

Presently Tron is ~20 times larger than Steem, but Tron isn't a social media mechanism, but has IIRC been developed as a media sharing mechanism.  BT is a vitally important tech that Steem should be using instead of a centralized website to serve content amongst it's users, as @edicted has proposed.

I hope that something that Tron can help us do.  If we can grow and provide Tron outlets for it's tech/token to be adopted, then it's in Tron's interest to not break what doesn't need fixing.

This is just my off the top of my head thought.  Better minds than mine are hopefully considering ways to ensure we don't get swallowed up by Tron and lose our ownership of our content, our freedom of speech, or our pseudonymity.
