I'm typing on a Dell computer and I have an HP second monitor and a Logitech wireless mouse. All told, this setup would cost about $2000. Let's say the profit margin for those items is 20%, so that's a profit of $200 reaped by the companies that made these products. How much of that profit did I experience? $0. Thus, I am in no way an owner of these companies. Your analogy is way off.
And I can go further than that. I do engineering for a living. I get paid a salary plus a modest bonus if I work a lot of overtime. A given project I work on may make more or less profit but my income doesn't change. Also, if the company experiences a banner year and profits go up by 50%, my salary doesn't change. So again, how does my "content" in any way constitute ownership?
Why is it so?
