The FAA does not keep title for aircraft. They only register them. Are
you just saying the current owner never changed the registration or are
you saying that someone has a lean against the plane?
An aircraft registration is NOT the same thing as a certified title of
a car from DMV. The FAA does not establish ownership (and it says so
quite clearly on the reg app).

Yes, it does. By refusing to process a registration that does not meet their
requirements, they are essentially doing the same thing.
