South of the Mason-Dixon Line includes almost half of your own state of Illinois, and multiple other states that remained loyal to the union.

Did you perhaps mean to refer to the 36°30′ parallel that was used in the Missouri Compromise?

Personally I'm more worried about the 3% of Iowa who doesn't consider itself the Midwest.

They do though; just not directly. Vote.

google invented a new file format for media that no one asked for and just expected everyone to nod along and accept it. Yes most browsers will display it but apparently fuck backwards compatibility with any locally-run software that isn't constantly upgraded (including editing software)

So, I still don't trust Unity, and wouldn't in good faith advise its use moving forward given that there's no way to know they wont try to pull this again in the future (especially given that John "Pay a Dollar to Reload" Riccitiello hasn't resigned in disgrace as CEO). However, I feel there's a part of the letter that you've left conspicuously out of this response.

But you still never answered how we can trust the install numbers that your tool supposedly collects

They addressed this, see this copied paragraph, emphasis mine:

For games that are subject to the runtime fee, we are giving you a choice of either a 2.5% revenue share or the calculated amount based on the number of new people engaging with your game each month. Both of these numbers are self-reported from data you already have available. You will always be billed the lesser amount.

This also addresses two your immediate followup concerns, piracy and install-bombs -- always being billed the lesser amount would act as a safety valve against unprofitable install spikes, on top of the fact that using licensee-reported numbers allows for agency on the part of the licensee to screen for malicious activity before being billed.

CCW is legal with a license.

You can conceal carry while naked; it's just unwise and uncomfortable.

For anyone curious, it's illegal in the US too, and you can threaten to report them to the FTC for violation of the CAN-SPAM act.
