I really hate to come off as an ass and respect the amount of effort you went into writing this. But a lot of these points are not correct. You're giving a lot of companies and developers a bit too much credit in comparison.
I won't go through them all, but eg. Yeah nintendo are fantastic in their consistent vision at providing quality, you're right, sales suck...but you realise Nintendo have enough capital to keep them in the green for at least 80 years despite poor sales? I'd dare say their probably worth more than Sony's whole division put together now. So nintendo's sales are irrelevant.
Bungie has admit fault on several occasions, more than what people choose to notice. True, they won't admit to every screw up, but don't confuse mistakes with false entitlement.
Yes, needs dedicated servers, there's no disadvantage to it apart from cost, which shouldn't be an issue. Wait and see i guess.
I can see where you're coming from, but a lot of the points are just personal opinions eg. $10 for a book or sparrow whatever, the value of an in-game microtransaction item is only relative to an individual's dedication to the game. People who hate Destiny wouldn't pay a cent for a new raid, people who love it could spend $100 on a shader based on expendable income/outlook towards the game.

People who hate Destiny wouldn't pay a cent for a new raid, depends on why they hate Destiny. I hate all the new content I would pay for raid just as good as VoG the problem is I have serious doubts they are even capable at creating something of that caliber.

Although true Nintendo has a massive bank account from past eras, and H5 is funded by MS, Bungie has still acquired almost a billion from base game sales alone in a single year while the entire budget for everything in the next 10 years was $.5 billion. They should easily have the resources to expand the development team or hold off of Destiny 2 to fix Destiny 1. They have the time, they have the money, they have the playerbase, they have the reputation, and they are backed by Activision. It's just that tracking your records should in the feature for everyone any racing game does it, and it's a pretty simple feature, it shouldn't cost 1/4 the cost of the TTK even if some parts of the fanbase are willing to pay for it especially since it tracks records, gives 1 sparrow, and one set of armour. At the cost of $10 you would expect an entire raid considering TTK's cost. With the amount they get from this they just have to have enough money to surely give us something better, some fixes first, and maybe some updated strikes surely?

About the money Bungie made from its halo franchise, it was huge...but you don't how it was spent. For all we know they could have had large failed projects, undisclosed lawsuits or bad investments, not everything is transparent until you're publicly trading under Activision. But for Bungie requiring a 500mil bankroll from Activision and prior sale of a franchise, you could make a fair assumption that they weren't working with the large capital they made off Halo. As much as I'm happy with my racebook purchase, yes I agree that something of trivial tracking yet great importance to SRL should have been made available to everyone for free, the sparrows served enough of the added microtransactions.
