You might be responding to the Gruber in your head rather than the one who wrote that post.
He's not extolling the virtues of Apple's decision, saying it was the right thing. He's responding to Patel's reaction to it.
It's okay for people to be ambivalent, or to have an opinion on only some aspects of an issue. Not everything you see is Red Team vs. Blue Team.
(He also kind of addressed some of your other points in the article as well, but perhaps not to your satisfaction or as directly as you'd like.)

You're probably right – there's likely more mutually shared opinions between my thoughts and Gruber's article than I think, though I'm only partly responding to his post. > (He also kind of addressed some of your other points in the article as well, but perhaps not to your satisfaction or as directly as you'd like.) Yes, exactly. I think a big thing that got me was his response to the dongle question: "External floppy drives sucked too." That's it. Not quite the level of detail I was looking for.
