Lets get to your points.

1. Of course gets player rolled by the high learning curve, but to make it even worser and also tell that the player, you instantly create more problems than needed.
Like always, people tend to think that it isnt the skill who beats them, they think its the extra bonus.... so its logical, that this invention isnt in the favor of new player.

2. That "unfairness spur player... sorry, maybe there are a few who like it, but thats surely a minority. Till today i never found a huge amount of people who love to get beaten all the day...

3. camera settings. thats really funny, till summer :D its surely not that needed with ETW, simply as you never spread your army like you do with NTW.
In NTW it is a huge difference, if you have a heavy zoom-out. Again, it is about what is possible and what is known, it makes no difference, if you use it or not. Its just about, new player know it or not. In the end its unfair. You know it and can decide, if you use it or not. New player dont know it and cant decide, if useful or not...
