The creator of Nxt is still anonymous and, indeed, has not posted on Bitcointalk since early November.
Just as BTC creator is anonymous
Pointing out that someone is anonymous isn't a criticism, it was to show that we have taken initiative (by revealing our identities) in response to someone saying that Nxt has a central lead, whereas Counterparty does not.
The fact that fewer than 80 addresses initially controlled all the Nxt is not some minor "detail" that will be forgotten in the future,
Just as one person owns 10% of BTC? Or 50% of peercoin are owned by top 60 addresses? Or just top 2 Litecoin addresses own 20% of all litecoin? what's the big difference between 80 and 8000 when the population of the word is 7 billion? Unless you can show a crypto that is distributed equally to all 7 billion, nothing about any distribution is "fair". All early adapters have large percentages.

The comparison you're making is unreasonable: Nxt fundraising was cut off early, with no warning.
