Yep my point exactly. Owning a repeater is owning a station, not a
frequency. Owning and operating a repeater, is, by part 97 almost
identical to owning, say for example, an HF radio and having it set
up and operational. Both are stations, neither "own" a frequency. The
only difference is one operates under automatic control and another
doesn't.

I can remember when no one could own an amateur radio frequency.
