It was never unusual for cypherpunks to use nyms. Amongst the many ideological and practical reasons, for example worries about if authorities would treat a creation and its creator hostilely — it separates the creator from the creation and lets you judge the creation purely on its own merits (whatever those may, or may not, be).

I do appreciate your curiosity, but thank you for understanding. To date, to my knowledge, no-one ever guessed correctly, and maybe that's for the best. If they'd have wanted anyone to know who they were: they'd have said. They never have, and likely never will. I don't think you'll ever see anything from the genesis block or those keys. It's got to feel incredibly strange, yes, but remember: they _wanted_ to walk away from the whole thing, and I feel strongly that deserves respect.
