Back door? How do you mean, there is not back door available in Bitcoin . Satoshi is also an unknown identity this person could be a group, but what we know is that bitcoin is very much transparent.
Bitcoin is a simple ideology and it’s transparency has gotten it the high level of adoption it has, it’s over 10 years now and if there was any back door as you think someone probably the high numbers of critics Bitcoin has would have brought it up.

Unless, hundreds of users have missed it, then nope he hasn't put a backdoor in it. As has been mentioned above by some users, open source means it's ready to view by anyone. However, that doesn't mean it's automatically safe which I believe some users might be confusing. Just because something is open source, doesn't mean it has backdoors, and when it comes to thousands of lines of code, it could potentially be missed.
Do, I think that's the case for Bitcoin? Nah. There's been too many peer reviews of it, however do consider in the future that just because something is popular, and open source doesn't necessarily mean it's safe. Ideally, anything you use you'd verify the code yourself, but I understand not everyone has that technical ability, so you go to next best thing, and loko for someone who you trust that has reviewed it.

That is why Satoshi Nakamoto still remain the founder of BTC because, he still have the ability to appear and change things that will attract different countries to adopt BTC or to be part of the benefits of BTC by making BTC teams more active in spreading the positive news about Bitcoin to the world. I guess, Satoshi Nakamoto still know what is happening with Bitcoin in the world Because, the main reason he or they created Bitcoin is to go round the world to eliminate delay in transaction.
That entirely depends on the hypothetical changes. If Satoshi has a different vision to the vast majority of the community, we don't have to follow his deviation. That's the beauty of Bitcoin, and one of the key fundamentals that Satoshi created. The freedom to choose.

I am not sure I am understanding you correctly.
Are you saying that it may be possible that Satoshi can change how bitcoin works? If so, you should know that bitcoin is an open-source project and there is nothing hidden from the people. Satoshi has no control over bitcoin network.

This. Developers publish source code for projects in order for independent researchers to check for things like back doors or possible malicious code. This in addition to wanting the best talent on earth to be able to improve code without restrictions. It is these reasons that led to satoshi making Bitcoin open source so that it could be trusted and improved by all those willing to do so.

If I can understand your question well, you are asking if Satoshi can change the work of Bitcoin or change the network. The answer is simply "no" because Satoshi developed the Bitcoin protocol and launched the network. The protocol does not allow Satoshi or anyone else to change or control the network, and this is the essence of the idea that no one would be able to control the network or any other central authority, otherwise he would not have had all this reliability.
On the other hand, the protocol is open source, and anyone can change it as they wish and launch a new project. There are actually several projects developed using the same protocol.

I know that sounds appalling, but do you think that it is possible that he did that? If he did do that, what exactly could he/they have the ability to change with so many people constantly maintaining Bitcoin core? If something like that was ever a possibility could BTC core developers reverse any changes made or prevent? I guess I’m just curious how many security measures are set in place to prevent things like that from every happening. Could they prevent or reverse a 51% attack as well?
