What is special is the ball. When the ball is downed in the end zone, it belongs to the team who owns that end zone.
Unless we're talking about an offense in their own endzone.

Better hold onto it if you want points. That's how special the ball is. The ball is so special that the sport is named after it.
Yeah, the ball is special. It is incredibly important to POSSESS it. That's why it makes zero sense for the defense to be awarded possession without actually having to gain possession.

Correct. That's a safety. The defense forces the offense to retreat to its own end zone, hence the two points and free kick. This is football.

It makes sense, and it's been explained to you. You just don't get it, and your proposed rule changes suck. This is football.
