I don't feel I am apologizing for Yamaha...I am merely pointing out why they are successful.
They clearly know what works best for them...obviously you don't agree with their strategy, but as you said, "Yamaha TOTL arrangers are successful and can make a profit".
If it is working so well...why try and fix it?
I'm sure if Yamaha felt it would be in their best interest to produce a 76 note TOTL or mid-line arranger, we would see one, but clearly the marketing mavens don't believe it is necessary...at least at present.
