HAHAHHAHAHAHA
I really hope that was satire because if it was...it was awesome.
However, if you were being earnest, please let me know so I can laugh harder.
You're right, there are typically around 300k people on H3 during the "high times" and around 5k of those in the MLG playlist. Probably...because "competitive" gamers don't make up a huge portion of the population. And yet while they are dedicated, so are the countless other people that play Rocket Race, SBTB, Griffball, and Infection day in and day out. You said it yourself, the "competitive" community is very small so why exactly should they be catered to when they could be doing things for a much larger population?
I think that was Shakespeare's point. Bungie does tons of things I don't like in H3. I also realize that while I don't like it, others maybe do. So I tolerate what I don't like instead of trying to turn a game that 750K people play a day into *MY* version of H3.

Judging the size of the competitive community in Halo 3 by the population in the MLG playlist is, for lack of a better term, idiotic. The majority of the competitive community in H3 plays custom games instead of matchmaking. I see just as many competitive players every day that I play Halo 3, as I do casual players. Look no one is asking to be catered to. With a shooter/combat simulator style game you don't have to make competition and casual play mutually exculsive. They both can be catered to. The competitive community isn't as "insignificant" as you think so please stop demeaning them.
When Bungie gives us an incalculable amount of customization to begin with, and continues to give us more options with every map pack, why then could they not simply add one more menu option to the weapons menu? It would only affect custom games, which is what the competitive community plays to begin with. We can all have *MY* version of H3 with just a few more custom options.
