I don't think arrogancy enters it at all.
Just look at how the LW/AMI expects to be superceded by DWX, whenever that comes.
I don't know how it happened that some of the issues described was in the release, but it was. You can (figuratively at least, some people will look at you crosseyed otherwise...) spit on the game for that - but remember that it is the unmodded version you claim preference to you spit on.
It was within our capabilities to change much of it, so why not?
Honestly, I don't think you have that much of a case. In the general case, as well as the DW one.
Mods can recreate a game perhaps as much as an expension can. Occasionally more. Though all I can really do about it is say "that's your loss".
We don't actually know how many have the mod and how many does not - you're making assumptions here. You may come from an "environment" where few has it, I'm from an "environment" where many has.
Anyway, here's what
I would
wish for you to do:
1) Get the lwami mod, try it. Establish if you think it fixes anything, i.e. if it's better than the stock version. Independently of who else has it.
2) Anytime you talk to a DW player, ask if he has the lwami mod.
3) If they don't, ask why. If they do, ask why.
4) Report back the results. Make sure to include the environment you've been asking in, for completeness. If most are seawolves, that will give a different result from mostly active-subsim-forum-posters.
I'd guess, that the most common reasons for not having it would be
-Haven't heard of it (common answer for most any mod, most any game)
-Those I play with don't use it (notice the self-reinforcing part of this)
-Rules in a virtual fleet don't allow it for matches, and I don't want to spend time with different sonar-etc-etc parameters than I'll use in a match
(which begs the question why are the rules like that)

As for the trolling possibility, I only mentioned that as a possibility - most cases follow certain patterns and some patterns did match. As for trolling or not, I believe the intention to be a cruicial part.
I certainly don't have conclusive evidence, nor do I find particularly much reason to believe that was his intention. My current assumption is that it's accidental that he matched some trolling patterns.
I do believe, however, that he is quite stubborn on a weak case.
