England. Famous for giving things back when asked nicely.

If we did. It would be to the French. As Argentina has never had any presence on the island.

This is such a strange take. Your argument amounts to adverse possession and comes across as very colonial.

Whereas Argentina, a nation which only exists due to a colonial empire taking adverse possession of (already populated, unlike the Falklands) land, and whose entire claim boils down to "it's kinda near me and I want it, someone who never administered it promised it to me" is definitely morally right and justifies the forced expulsion of the only permanent population an island has ever had.
