This comes across rather as though you are pleading for a change that you must know the vast majority simply do not want. So I don’t quite see the point. Much of your reasoning is highly debatable, too – and has been debated ad infinitum, which is why it gets a bit tedious.
It’s market forces; you cannot compel people to buy something they don’t want. And you’re the mirror opposite of that old-school 2/ fraternity that says ‘everyone should have’ 100cc air-cooled dd karts. They’re not going to have their wish fulfilled either.
OK, so maybe it’s not quite market forces because there is an incumbent industry-led bias in the rule making. But that isn’t the reason why Rotax dominates.
Finally, it cannot have escaped your notice that the only 4-stroke that dyed-in-the-oil 2-strokers can contemplate accepting is Wankel. Every single time a thread about ‘a move to 4-stroke’ starts, it ends in discussion of rotary engines. It is crystal clear that, for karting, this is by far the best alternative currently available. Indeed, it is also substantially superior to any 2-stroke engine currently available; few 2-strokers would even argue with that statement.
