It's not exactly as bad as it looks.

On the contrary, it is far worse.

They don't actually "own" all the stock.

They hold the stock, which means they act on behalf of the trustees of the stock, which is the DTC, or rather, the people who run the DTC (board of directors).

The people who think they own the stock are the beneficial owners of the stock. The people who run the DTC are the trustee owners of the stock. Cede and Co. holds the stock for the trustees. When you "buy" a stock, you are really just transferring beneficial ownership. The control owner, AKA the Trustee, remains the same.

if you want as they are legally required to hand them over upon request

Legally speaking you have contractual rights to become the trustee (controller) of a stock asset. Technically the owners of the DTC only have "temporary" trusteeship of the stock, but that doesn't mean they aren't the trustees during that "temporary" time that it is held by Cede and Co.. Regardless of the "legal rights," good luck actually getting those stock certificates if you request them.

Even if you somehow manage to get them, good luck ever selling them. First you have to find a buyer. Then you have to negotiate the price. Then you have to send them to a clearing house, who will then send them on to Cede and Co., and we are back to where we started. Regardless of any legal possibilities of "actually" owning your stock (being both trustee and beneficiary of the asset), Cede and Co. and the DTC act as an effective monopoly on all stock transactions, ensuring their trusteeship is "temporary" like the sun burning hydrogen is "temporary".

And again, if you manage to actually get your stocks in some company in your hand, the other 99.99999999999% of the companies stocks are still at Cede and Co. If some happy EMP hits NYC, guess who owns all the stock if the "official" records get wiped? That's right, the custodians, who hold all assets in custody for the "temporary" trustees.

Who are those trustees?

Cede and Co. is just a part of the corporate chain of the DTC. Who created the DTC? William T. Dentzer, Jr. What did he do? Well, he worked for the NSA and the CIA for quite a long time (1940s-late 60s). He played a big part in the Cold War for a couple decades, doing all sorts of nefarious shit. Then he was assigned to the top of the New York State Superintendent of Banks by his BFF Nelson Rockefeller, and from that position he created the DTC.

So who is the trustee (controller) owner of all the stocks in the United States? Who the hell knows, but I'd bet dollars to donuts that their last name starts with an "R".

Cede and Co, or even just the DTC itself is just a small piece of the puzzle however. They have the trustee ownership of all stocks, but they are also the beneficial owners of almost all the stock in the world. Both sides of the ownership of almost all stocks are the exact same people. Please read my report which elaborates this in great detail, leaving no room for doubt of the "nefariousness" of this system.

There is a single corporation in the world, and a single body of people who run it, in perpetuity, in no small part because of systems like Cede and Co., but again, it's just one tiny piece of the puzzle.
