The only reason megas aren't formes is because XY needed a gimmick

X and y already have lots of gimmicks, and megas are activated differently from formes

Forms are actually the gimmicks, mega are a mechanic.

Consider you can have as many form Pokemon as you want, and they are permanent.

They pretty much are formes; they just slapped a fancy new name onto it.

They're just formes with a new activation method, there's nothing that Megas do that formes haven't already done

Megas aren't completely forgettable like formes. The games goes out of it's way to teach you about them. Maybe it's because I didn't play platinum, but I never learned what formes were and never used them. Wasn't interested in finding out either.

Can formes allow you to choose when to activate the forme? On some megas this is a bit important especially when their speed drops or change their typing.

Masuda made it sound mostly like they had made so much art they were happy with of old pokemon they made them into Megas along with making older Pokemon viable again. I wouldn't be surprised if every Mega so far was done because it's a favorite of someone on the main team.

Meloetta and Aegislash both change forme on command. Castform, Cherrim, and Darmanitan-Zen also change in battle but depend on certain triggers.

The Megavolve button is just a new trigger mechanic, there's nothing that Megas have done that forms haven't. They're just more hyped and prominent than forms are.
