Why Satoshi doesn't express his opinion about BU, segwit, hard forks and other crucial things like these?

I think it would be very important to hear his voice and to know what he thinks about it, because those crucial things could even lead to a Bitcoin implosion.

But if he doesn't express his opinion maybe he just don't care about Bitcoin anymore or maybe he's already dead, as many people believe...

Hi!  Smiley
Well, Satoshi wrote: Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System
A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution.
Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System (https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf)

My opinion:
Technical Arguments: He wrote all the process in his documents and developers understood it.
Philosophy/Social: People can understand what they want, but if a lot of people want to understand like a "modus vivendi" it's only an option.
I think this option includes the following questions: His identity is not important because what part of a "Peer-to-peer" you didn’t understand?  What part of a "decentralized" you didn’t understand?

In my opinion I think the worst thing that could be happen is that BU is only a possible prelude of a "private network" and a prelude of a way for patents registered. I am studying about that, It’s only an idea that fly around me and only an opinion without arguments yet.
I think Satoshi is only an abstract or physical node in the network now. It will be cool read him if he is alive or active. I can understand you if you are a developer and need a leader for the way of the project… but like a live philosophy, we can live without Satoshi although clapping his contribuition.

Not worry about Satoshi, If he wants to say something, he will do. Like all of us.
