I am not going to answer for the whole clan... Many got accounts here, so they'll answer or correct me if they see fit.

On top of the many reason you've listed and I'd basically agree with, I'd also add a few other points. It was, still is, not possible to play 4*4 large unit size game.
FF liked the large unit size because it helped a bit balancing out the game (normal size helps cavalry), and we like 4v4, because we're a team, we play as a team, and 1v1 is not our thing (ok, it was Crandaeolon specialty... But otherwise, no, nope, no thanks).
Once it became obvious 2v2 was the best we could hope for, a major part of the team game and team tactic appeal was gone for us.

We gave a last try after 1.2, with a modding attempt, we gave up on it... Either modding was too small to affect the gameplay enough, or to large and have unintended consequences.

From there, it became obvious the game was not for us anymore.
