I agree, but also disagree slightly on where Zekram's stance is. He likely did know of the King Pieces, the real reason Cleria died, and maybe had a hand in it. However he retired from being the Bael head ages, and while it's true he can't be punished as badly as a result...

That isn't the same case with Sairaorg's dad who is the current head. if you remember what the Astaroth clan lost for the actions of just their current heir at the time, then it's very likely they got hit much worse with their losses because it was a higher ranked member(s) of the Bael household.

So while Zekram may be an important figure, he likely still lost a bit of the power and influence he once had because of these two incidents. That's why him not being the current head has more of an impact, while the Satans can be changed, you can't change which household you get born into.

So even if Zekram did somehow become the clan head again, I don't think he could still claim they still truly rule the Underworld now. As for the current Satans, I can agree with you there, but I also get the feeling even they couldn't expose the King Piece without that death threat that happened with Cleria.

I mean... the series has shown it's very easy to fabricate stories. No one was able to find out the Biblical God was died for a long time. Does it really seem like the Devil government couldn't have made a believable story to explain a Satan dying if things like the King Piece were able to be kept secret for ages?
