well i watched the first half out of boredom, i normally dont watch commentary videos at all. Your first point about DLC, is just off. Map packs normally take some time to come out. COD4 got 1 map pack, and it was way, way after release. I want to say sometime in the summer after release? MW2's map packs were also months after the release. Granted I didn't buy anything for MW2 so I don't know the exact release date, but it was well after the game came out. Again with Black ops, the first map pack (which was terrible btw) came out around February/March, same time as MW3.
So its the same schedule for MW3, I don't see a cause for complaint. Just ignore everything about elite, you didn't buy it, welcome to the smart consumer ranks. Elite Premium users haven't gotten anything worth talking about, none of them are happy with their product, so they got a couple of days of extra double xp. They also had to play the elite playlists to get it, and guess what? Those moshpits suck. There is no reason to ever envy Elite premium users.
