"That wasn't the topic of my question"

Yes it was.

"3: wrong, by definition an inventor does not assign a patent to themselves. It is their patent and depending upon various arrangements and understandings it may be assigned to a company or to others. In some cases it must be assigned but that is dependent upon where one resides and contractual obligations."

You're incorrect. The federal government ruled in several cases that a CEO has a fiduciary responsibility to assign a patent to the company he works for when the patent is in direct line with the business that company seeks. Has nothing to do with state law. It's a federal issue. You can not be a CEO of a company that produces toothbrushes, then invent a new unique toothbrush and try to personally profit from it.

"4: against the law? Only under specific circumstances. In my opinion you believe it is always illegal. I suggest you pursue that in a court and see how your opinion is valued."

I don't have to pursue anything, I'm confident that an entity that is known for taking on public companies will take on the issue when the issue becomes profitable.
