nobody wants to co-own, everybody wants to own

Not to go all Dune on you but ownership is the power to destroy a thing

Or change it in general, agreed. For example, hard fork upgrades. Who has the power to perform those?

Change != destroy

It’s a key distinction 

One can change the network by introducing a new thing without owning any more it

I agree, destroy is technically a subset. :p We can always destroy some property by changing its nature, unless we mean in the sense of thermodynamics. But in either case, I assume we're talking about this definition:

This is explicitly not part of owning eth

“owner has the right to exclude others from using or interfering with the property”

I can’t stop anyone from using Ethereum

Some would consider certain changes to Ethereum to be at least destructive if not destroying.
