I think the main issue with your manifesto is you are defining success by how many rides you can cram in a day. Not everyone considers strolling the park, enjoying the street entertainment, parades, shows and other non-ride components of the park as a failure. Yes, in the old days (and I have been going since the days before fast passes at all) those who read up could learn tips but just because these tricks don't work anymore doesn't make Disney any less awesome.
You also complain that Disney is creating more and more events to spread (increase overall) crowds in the year is just smart business sense. WDW is ultimately a business and they are beholden to shareholders first and foremost. Just like any other business they are trying to maximize profits. You as a consumer can speak with your wallet if you are displeased but arguing that Disney should just curl up and die and allow crowds to lag just so a few people who commando plan can enjoy low park crowds is completely illogical.
My suggestion to you is instead of standing around saying "who moved my cheese" (this references a book that talks about people who continue to live in yesteryear) then learn to adjust your vacation style.
My guess is WDW is going to move to more and more towards a pay for what you want to experience. there will always be folks willing to pay for premium access. While many may not be able to pay for a VIP plaid experience there are many who will pay $50 - $100 more for certain experiences. While we wish everything was all "fair" the world just doesn't work that way. In the old days the dinner shows (HDDR etc) used to assign tables by time of booking. It became apparent that there was money to be made so they moved to a tiered pricing system.
