The funny thing is most people complain, yet still buy the game.
Some of the arguments you make stem in to another debate that is taking place in the industry right now: artistic vision. Does the studio own the user experience? Do they have a responsibility or right to make sure that the player has that experience under the game balance (or lack thereof) as they designed it?
It seems that gaming is really tending toward the Hollywood model more than that of the "id model" most of us grew up with. Notable exceptions are Epic, Valve, and (of course) id/ZeniMAX. And, as I said earlier, a lot of that has to do with the fact that those companies have revenue streams that depend on mods and licensees.
The harsh reality is that it's probably going to get worse before it gets better when it comes to EA and Activision. They are totally invested in multi platform titles with a rapid development cycle. And while the budgets they throw at games now are almost insane, even with those budgets, the studios are pressed to put that capital on the screen, rather than into offline features demanded by the vocal minority (which we are, unfortunately).
My prediction: most likely, MoH will go the same route as COD and BF:BC2. Closed and un-modable.
