I don't know why everyone is so obsessed with Satoshi.
What would his return achieve? Nothing!
What disadvantage could there be to his return right now? Well, he might commit suicide and his body be found with two bullets at the back of his head. Or you know he could be charged with rape based on the accusations of some ex cia pretending to be a bitcoin enthusiast who changes her mind about having sex a week later.
Leave the guy alone for the time being. If he is absolutely needed - unless he is dead - I am sure he will provide help one way or another. Until then, no point of him to show up just for 100000 posts of thank you and you are my hero etc. He knows all that.
That actually makes a lot of sense. His return in Bitcoin could only hurt the project
