satoshi has no control of the bitcoin network. there is no backdoor that he has access to. so a government cant do anything about it if he was found. there is no threat or harm

satoshi is not hiding due to any threat of government grabbing him. he just didnt want to be seen/treated as a central reference point back in 2010 because some people were blindly following him, which went against the point of bitcoin

in recent years however, there are 3 people that do have the github control of the main reference client software upgrades, which pretty much everyone blindly follows.., they are publicly known people and yet governments are not chasing them. so this proves that the government are not bothered about gaining control of things like bitcoin core

if the government wanted to grab someone that does have some form of control. it would be those that have the github access to implement new release candidates of bitcoin core. however governments can simply make a court order to hand to github itself to gain access to github. and again this has not happened, thus no real threat.

I agree partially with what you have to say.
If Github is compromised like that. They will just fork the code and new chain will continue.
How many bitcoiners/miners want to be part of the Government Bitcoin chain?
