Zoom out a bit, maybe look at 1602 to the present and ask, "What can and can't be property, who decides what is and isn't property, am I ok with this, and why am I ok with this?" What are the second and third order effects that result from first principles here?

You're making a normative argument about what should be property. I'm making a purely descriptive point.
