I feel the overall thrust of the essay is more focused on popularity in the US market

OK, if you were taking it in that sense. I saw it as a description of the BL genre in general based on the works available in English. But I wonder why he chose to theorize only on the basis of published translations, when the English BL readers I know seem to depend on scanlations that offer more variety than a mainstream publisher dare provide.
