I don't think any of those things should be used in justifying the price. In this thread I made some posts about why I think the game is reasonably priced.
Now, to address some of the points you made:
While Bungie is definitely using us as test subjects to test their multiplayer, I think it's partially out of an act of kindness as well. They know we want to sink our teeth into anything they give us. What better way to kill two birds with one stone, eh?
I don't think Recon armor was advertised as something you'd get in Halo 3. I believe pictures of it leaked and it was used in artwork, but Bungie never up and said "you'll get every single armor permutation". If I recall correctly, Frankie said (in a podcast a long time ago) something along the lines of..."you'll have to do certain awesome things to get different armor". While he could have meant harder achievements = more armor, it's still an accurate statement.
People will justify their purchases and many decisions they make however they want, that's something I really can't discuss. :\
The offering of the Beta is really cool, but you do have to look at the bigger picture, and that the only reason they are doing it is so they can get some good tests in. Us being happy is only a nice side product of the Beta being public.
Well Bungie was being dicks about Recon Armor. Plain and simple, there is no way to avoid it. First they wouldn't tell us anything about it, then we started to find out what is was on our own, the BLAM! Only Bungie employees can have it, but wait now you, you and you can have it. But only under ridiculous circumstances that we just made up right now.

People do this in hopes of justifying the fact with the public that they refuse to pay the price of a great game.
A somewhat large group of these people (not all) I believe, think that if they whine enough over something that will not change, it might be noticed by the producers...and pity might be taken, which is not the case...Ever...
Yea, pity is never taken. Unless the sales are so horrible the game has to have a serious face lift. And even then I can't name one instance where that happened.
