Nothing says hyperatomization like an "ownership model" of parent-child relationships or a "trustee model" of parent-child relationships. To think these things are somehow more elemental in the construction of society than just having a "parent-child model" itself! (Not that I necessarily even disagree... just an observation.)
Ah, but for whom is the trustee model written?
Not for those who have a healthy parent-child model, which is difficult to explain and loaded with intuition, but for those who do not.
The trustee model is presented for those who can only see things as “the parent owns the child” or “the state owns the child”, with no in-between or drift from the axis, including various hypercapitalists. It is a framework to grasp at which is either safer for the children if they stop there, or allows a departure from that mindset altogether.
