> It’s not an analogy. It’s another example of ownership in another context.

Right, and it shows that ownership isn't the one factor that matters.

> Employee’s authority over something owned by another party is delegated by that party and varies according to the trust from that management. Employees do not own goods or services they have produced and sold. And do not continue to have authority or rights to them.

It's not like delegation is optional.

I am glad you seem to have stepped back from the "someone else built" language you originally used.

And sometimes it's good to negotiate parts of employment contracts as a whole society, by putting it into law. It's not "entitlement" in any derogatory sense. It's a very mild limit on which things can be negotiated.
