There are a good number of members here who do know the issue and from time to time provide input. But there are a number of die hard deniers here who can't tolerate that there is an issue, too. And even more people on other sites. So, your 99.9% has no basis in reality, really.
For the avoidance of doubt, the situations where it falls short are most likely af-c tracking of fast moving items, probably 0,1% of the photos taken with Fuji cameras, and most seem happy with Xh2s performance, it is unrealistic to expect that level of performance in smaller, lighter and cheaper bodies.
The 'issues' you go on about seem to be focus beyond infinity, which I don't believe is an issue unless the focus locks there, which brings us to your second hobby horse, lack of locking focus on af-s, in I quote 'certain situations', which you see reluct to specify so we can see where the problem lies. I don't experience that issue, unless there are reasons, typically items in the focus box at more than one plane of possible focus. Sometimes the ca,era chooses the plane I don't want. That happens with my Nikons too, always has, and I don't considerit a 'fault' merely something to adaptmy technique to avoid. Last week I tried it out to see of I could reproduce your issue, 100-400 @ 400 so problems immediately obvious, fill the focus box with a flat brick wall opposite, locks focus every time out f about 20-30 tries, no problems. Focus distance indicator was absurdly inaccurate, reading about 7m instead of 30, but it was absolutely consistent.
There are two ther forums I know about, DP review which I haven't bothered with fot years as debate is generally un intelligent, and Fuji X, where I can't remember a single discussion asserting major AF issues.
