I always find it amazing that people who put in zero or low effort, and have no experience in designing courses and running big events want to tell the people doing it how wrong they are.
Anyone who brings in that much revenue, that many people, and puts on that kind of a show doesn't have to apologize to anyone in any way. What happened here was great for the sport, looked great, and is part of the increasing trend of courses that require thinking and versatile skills. If someone wants to argue it wasn't perfect, I've yet to see any product in any venture that was perfect.
Safari holes, as a business comment - if your goal is to be fair to the top card, you can argue against safari courses, if your goal is produce an exciting final, that will be enjoyed by those watching, then safari courses are to be expected. The question becomes what makes the tournament exciting for those watching, since that is the ultimate goal of the sport and the players, since that is where the money ultimately comes from. Sponsors aren't paying to make the pros happy, they are paying for the eyes - like it or not.
Player conduct - appalling, instant media means we get to see it in ways that we didn't get to in the past. Frankly, it should be ignored, all players act like donkey's some of the time, and some act like donkey's most of the time; it is only the ones who act like donkey's all the time that should concern us. I haven't yet to see one who is a constant pain, including the most infamous ones.
