Good analogy, though I think that the creators of Eth, were entering into a huge conflict of interest when they created the DAO, if they funded it with their own pre-mined ETH, like the way Steemit has been funded, fair enough. But they didn't, they took other people's Eth.

I think the fact that the bug hasn't been fixed and trading is still apparently going on, is madness; maybe I'm not understanding it properly, but couldn't the whole thing just happen again?
