And yet, I note that you employ the Hitter's Impact Address (Left Wrist Flat, Right Wrist Bent and Forward Leaning Clubshaft) instead of the Swinger's 'Classic' Standard Address (Left Wrist Bent, Right Wrist Flat and Clubshaft at right angles to the Plane Line).
Your TGM expertise is well-known, so this is obviously a deliberate choice. What factor(s) influenced your decision?

Coming from the man who HAS the swing- thanks for the compliment.
In regards to my address position, I've always had way too much movement- long backswing, etc. So over time, that was just one way that I felt for me - it was easier to limit, control, etc. the motion and the movement.
As you noted I do swing- and although it may look as if I carry the club back- in fact the independent motion of the secondary lever assembly (clubshaft) for swinging is there for me.
I absolutely agreed with everything you said and coulda/woulda made the same comment but upon a quick reflection- and I'm sure you'll agree- while I am using an impact looking address position- it really can't be labeled a Hitter's address, it's just one of the available address(es) to be used by either a Hitter or a Swinger. That's more a clarification for other members (cause I know you know it)- if we had to choose everything being equal- then the classic address certainly is convenient for dragging the shaft back and the impact address is convenient for carrying the entire primary lever assembly (left arm and clubshaft back).
For me, it's not an easy game- and nothing comes quickly - but that certainly makes it enjoyable when good things happen!
