My brother in Manwe, you kind of lost some credibility calling Tom Bombadil a major plot point.

No, you misunderstood. "Not even X, let alone Y" is just as much about differences in magnitude as it is similarities in kind:

Meanwhile, Peter Jackson couldn't even figure out how to get major plot points like the Scouring of the Shire to work, let alone [minor ones like] Tom Bombadil.

be that as it may, even “Scouring…” would have been a bad choice to include in RoTK. The ending is already way too long. I would have loved it as fan service, but from the perspective of film making cutting it was the right choice.
