Please don't put words in my mouth, and please don't immediately assume the very worst interpretation of what I say.
For example, when I said "there is business value to usable apps", I actually didn't imply "there is no business value to casting a wider not". To say nothing of your "quick buck" comment.
It's dishonest to play tricks like this, so I would ask you to rewrite your comment as if your target audience was an intelligent human being looking for an intelligent discussion.
"there is business value to usable apps" didn't fit into the tone of your post, so I hope you can forgive a bit of unintentional creative interpretation (one word). I made no attempt to play tricks.
The rest of the post was simply a point-by-point dissection. None of your other points are valid. The only somewhat valid argument I hear against proper browser compatibility is "we don't have time", which is usually a self-inflicted wound.
Stable web pages that gracefully degrade are fully possible, even today. I wrote a unit test that degrades in IE 5 this week.

I hope the 0.02% of your users who benefited from that, are very happy.
