Agree with @shazow.eth here.

I will assume that we can both agree that ACME shareholders co-own ACME. 

How then do eth holders (and especially stakers), not co-ownethereum?

you're conflating ownership with consensus. they are not the same

It's true, they are not the same. 

But when you have a consensus mechanism which is used to make decisions about how to control/operate/modify/distribute a thing... then the consensus participants are owners.
