We can't answer these questions because we are NOT the one and only Satoshi Nakamoto and we can't look inside his mind.
More importantly: does it really matter what Satoshi thinks? Us hearing Satoshi's opinion on things would only do more harm than good. Surely one of the reasons why Satoshi preferred to stay hidden is to prevent bias when the community is debating on things(scaling solutions, etc).
I believe in this idea. He left because his opinions would be judged and debated, that is, Bitcoin would cease to be Bitcoin to be Satoshi. We would lose a big coin and win a man.
