They're out there busy spending their money
I'm sure the old guard still has a bit of skin in the game. They probably found this forum to be increasingly intolerable.
Satoshi must've been bright enough to realise that human nature would morph his/her/its/their creation into another cesspool. It's still money and that's one of the most emotive subjects in the world. Once you bind the internet to it then that just amplifies it by a few orders of magnitude.
Perhaps a few years down the line there'll be quiet offshoots springing up around the world that really do fulfill the ideological promise.

At this stage of my life every time I try to really understand why people do this, do that ... a bunch of philosophical pop out of my mind like ...

so I try to not judge others decisions or attitudes ... it's cause more segregation than integration ...

PS: Haven't lost any bitcoin with the Mtgox fiasco but I have lost faith in the community. Protocol still works though.
This is because the OK members of the community left bitcointalk, not only Satoshi. Bitcointalk, especially the Speculation board mutated to a TrollBox. Look at some "last active" of some of the old guard:

It might not be the truth and only but the truth but my speculation is that he became disgusted with the community since Gavin showed it off to CIA, and become even more disgusted when he saw how twisted we are with our overly speculative, wanna-get-rich-quick-while-jerking-off mentalities and such.
My impression is that he doesn't give a single shit on any of us and more tragically even about Bitcoin. If not a prank, his recent post on not being Dorian, clearly shows he stepped forward to defend a man that was in REAL danger of being killed for his supposed wealth/ worshiped to death by the bitcoin fanatics.
Moreover, Sathoshi gave everybody the instrument, a decentralized currency but we somehow started to do it wrong (see MyBitcoin, Bitcoinica, MtGox etc)
But don't worry, Bitcoin will not burn in hell, only we will! (in a max of 90 years or so, and even less for some of us). And lets a keep a toast for for MtGox - Bitcoinica incidents as we love people being scammed of off their life savings.
