I was one of the people who criticized the UMD drive. I can only speak for myself, but my problem with UMD wasn't that it's removable storage instead of a download service, it's that it's a power-sucking and uncomfortably gyroscopic optical drive instead of a solid-state cartridge like the DS. As flawed as an optical drive in a portable device is, at least it's better than a consumer-unfriendly download service.

Of course, the Hydrus Blast seems to have given us a miss, so I'm not sure what long-term implications this has.

That's one of the more interesting ideas I've heard in a long time. I agree with you.
Sheesh, no need to waste a scroll. Just write ELBERETH in the dust.
Of course, I wasn't the one who got $200k in UEO grants for the damned thing.
