I think the reason why people get up in arms about it is because those of us that pronounced it 'Tydus' (me included) are a bit shocked and in disbelief when we find out we have been pronouncing it wrong for over ten years. But, if they just used his name from the beginning in the game, it wouldn't be an issue: we would have thought "oh ok, it's pronounced 'Tee-dus.' Anyway, moving on...." I'd say it's more startling than anything else.

That said, I do like the reasoning of 'person #1' in your post.
