I do wonder why some school band directors are complaining about the key of G major, then? For a Bb instrument it should be no harder to finger than the key of Db, and much easier for all the C and F instruments.

Please try to understand that a lot of the statements you are refuting are ones that I was doubtful about to begin with, especially the G major band issue.

Maybe there's something about the key of Db that makes it easier to voice the various band instruments in appropriate registers, while with G you either have to aim high or aim low and the pitch voicing doesn't sound as good. I recall that beginning F-horn players have that dilemma, since most band students start off with the Bb concert scale but the horns have to either play high or low since neither octave is in the ideal beginning register.
