The conflict of the original vision versus the current outcome is that satoshi left before the massive consolidation of miners into just a handful of pools, and so they were left to only bicker about what satoshi really wanted instead of taking initiative in fulfilling the raw mission of being digital cash. I’m sure Satoshi, if Satoshi is still out there, considers leaving to be the biggest mistake. If they are out there, and attempting something new, I doubt they'll ever reveal who they once were, but I equally doubt they'll let go of the reins on whatever they're doing now.
