Why don't we just follow APH's instructions for this list and stop
bickering about it? APH has made it clear that new suggestions are
encouraged, criticism of new suggestions is discouraged. This should be
the end of the story.

Yes, it is always those who want no change unless it can be their way. But, since you want to continually attack anybody that disagrees with you then I guess it's your problem.. If you aren't open to change then so be it.
I'll leave the decisions on what Book Port is to APH and state my opinion regardless of what others think. I have spent 20 years working with blind individuals as an assistive technology specialist and a user of the technology. I think I have a little bit of an idea of what some of the needs are out there that are not being met.
But, I have had a lot of people with far less experience or knowledge of the field tell me that I don't have a right to an opinion. So go ahead and moderate the list away as you please and criticize anyone you wish.
