I agree with most of the points in the OP. MGS4 was made for the casual MGS fans who make up 90% of the MGS fanbase, they probably never considered or recognized a single one of those points brought up in the OP after playing MGS4. As long as MGS4 had Snake and not a wtf ending like MGS2, the game would be accepted by the majority MGS fanbase. I believe Kojima intentionally wrote MGS4 the way he did to find a way out of the series without having to deal with death threats from fans again. However, I did find Peace Walker to be an exceptional MGS game story and gameplay wise.
