"Could there be the possibility that they haven't been doing what's considered wrong or if the critical reception is a bit excessive? I'm not attempting to deflate your and other's points with these questions, to disclaim. I am interested in seeing more two-sided battles and controversy."

I don't think so. FANDOM has been doing such critical changes without even knowing if their users, who just built all the wikis, actually like it.

"Would this work?"

They pretend is going to work, but they will probably send you some generic answers and try to find an excuse to not listen to users' criticism.

"Interestingly enough, the Wikia.com domain was more popular than ever regardless of the changes made. The drop happened around September, which was around the time the Runescape Wiki, among others, had left. [...]"

I can even tell that myself, probably the changes weren't as critical as they are now, of course, they were users complaining, but not as much as now.
