How does knowing the author of TCP or HTTP or SMTP make it any different as to how we use their services?
I've never thought before clicking on a URL and wondered "Gee I wonder who made the HTTP protocol".
It really doesn't matter.
I never ever wondered the same with who decided to make money in the US or who thought of the credit card concept. The media has hyped up the identity (or lack thereof) of Satoshi Nakamoto, but it honestly doesn't matter.
The code, the underlying protocol and the apps that are running on top of this code is what matters to most. These have been studied and scrutinized by many and found to be absolutely brilliant and sinister-free code.
One could assume that the person(s) names Satoshi Nakamoto wishes to remain anonymous perhaps first because he might be ridiculed and laughed at (which he was) and later on the possibility and now all probability of the wealth it has created for him.
