If the keys have been lost then so has Satoshi. Otherwise any random idiot can say they're satoshi. Sucks to suck.

If this was the actual explanation, that would be kind of funny (and possibly ironic?)

Just the pure distillation of, "protect the private key with your life." If it can happen to the person who literally created the thing, it can happen to you.
