Would you ask that question to Satoshi too?

There are, obviously, cases where you can't question the person who'd give you the answer you want. In these cases, you'll have to try answering it yourself based on the context. In my opinion, based on what I've understood from their serious attitude towards the project, I find it extremely unlikely from their side to not choose random keys as they'd never want to leave room for an impersonator.

Also, I would characterize it “unfair” to give those smartasses the chance to reward themselves in an other way than mining. It promotes nothing, but immorality. The fact that Satoshi hasn't move their coins for over a decade shows me that they didn't want them to be into circulation in the first place.

In my opinion it would be unfair ''from their serious attitude towards the project'' to mine coins, mark them and let them unmoved, if that was their intention. Because there is always the possibility, that they can move these coins. They could have mined or moved them to a ''burn address.''

Why would it be unfair to give people ''the chance to reward themselves in an other way than mining'' if we have thereafter a better distribution?
