They have every reason to not claim ownership. Because if they did, the endgame would be obvious. I have read the Princeton textbook. I know the history.
With blockchain technology, it will be possible to carry all of the following things in your "blockchain" wallet:
birth certificate
high school diploma
college degree (and in theory, your degree could be suspended if you don't pay your student loans)
marriage certificate
social security
all personal property
If you don't think that governments, , banks, marketing companies, or insurance companies can find function with blockchain, then you need to go back and look.
This technology has the ability to suspend a college degree if the loans are not paid. I did not say that it will happen. I said that it can. Think about that. It isn't about establishing trust, and if you believe that, you are not seeing the larger picture.
First of all, you do not explain your reasoning. Saying that "

Your argument is that since no one took credit for it, that in of itself is proof that the creator designed it for enslavement.
Yet, Bitcoin wasn't created for information storage and data mining, it was created for currency transmission. It doesn't contain such data.
The Bitcoin blockchain, can not hold any of that information. If it did, or could, the data would be too large to maintain.
The Bitcoin blockchain can only store a small hash of that information, so that you can prove ownership by a certain block height/date, if needed.
The Bitcoin blockchain is not a storage system, it is a trustless currency exchange system.
Using the blockchain for the purposes you describe would not be needed.
The US NSA already has most of that data and they store it privately.
There is no need and not actually functional to create a public ledger system to control people.
You just do it in private like now.
