There is so much here....
But, in short, team based estimates are because the TEAM is responsible for getting the work done.
If one individual is responsible for getting the work ( story) done, there is a disconnect in how scrum teams work, or an issue with single code ownership, or an issue in how the story is written.

Scrum uses team-based estimates but what if the majority of the team votes for one estimate but the person actually responsible for doing the work votes higher and says that the team estimate is too low and says they can't commit to it? If the majority votes a certain way but the person doing the work votes higher then wouldn't going with the majority vote be equivalent to a top-down estimate?
