Years ago, I did this race, but it fell off my personal radar for some of the reasons stated. I won't go into details, but I'll just say I was treated poorly by race organizers and they lack event basics like any kind of SAG, poor obstacle and course control(s), and what I'd call a "celebrity driven" mentally. You folks in LA will get my drift on that last one.
Anyway, I told my self I would never do that race again and am happy to say I haven't.
On a related note, Dan, I agree with your observations on the responsibilities of an athlete. They need basic skills like fixing a flat, safe practices while swimming, proficient bike handling, etc.
