You're forgetting the part where they had to do any of this stuff...Wait. They didn't have to. Bungie did a lot. Just because you didn't have fun, that doesn't mean they didn't do things right. They gave the community in-game content. No one gives a crap if you have flames or a name plate, use them if you like. If you don't want to use them because you don't feel like they're special, well that's your problem then, isn't it?
I chose not to use them, but that doesn't mean I don't think they're cool or that I don't think other people should use them. I just have no interest in them. If you only use in game content because it's rare, it's rather vain and foolish. No one cares. Thousands of other players were happy with the flames and name plates.
We all knew it was going to be a slim chance, but everyone had a chance to play Bungie. A good handful of players did, and I'm sure they felt it was worth it, even if they didn't steak em'.
Bungie Aerospace: Just because it doesn't directly effect me, that doesn't mean it's not something worth noting. Bungie unveiled a new project to help boost indie developers and their games. I'm sure the most die hard of fans are happy and are eager to see what's happening.
Bungie didn't have to do anything, and they weren't trying to cater to you. They were trying to celebrate with the community. With the amount of game time, the merchandise sold, and the reveal of their new project, I'd say it does just that.
That being said, I do agree with the Swag Bag issue. I work. I don't exactly have people at my beck and call to sit it on the computer and keep refreshing to buy a Swag Bag and I can't call out and do it. I never had much of a chance. By the time the second batch went up, I was an hour or two into my shift. The first was sold out before I even caught wind it was up and ready. I believe it was executed poorly and I think Bungie should have given more people more of a fair chance to grab one.
I got myself a nice shirt and cinch bag though.
