You can say most of that about the Great Barrier Reef and Uluru too.
We can go to the MW, we are in it and we can encourage people to look at it, make it a tourist attraction.
We can go there with our telescopes. The Milky Way is "best" seen from 6 countries, one of them is Australia.
Five other countries lie under the center of the MW; Chile, Argentina, Brazil, South Africa and Lesotho.
Also different cultures have different attitudes to "ownership".
