I think these two things are worth the lack of watching the show live, in-person for the 1% of FIRSTers.

I agree. I've both watched the broadcast of kick-off and attended the actual event, and honestly I don't think pre-recording it is a bad idea. The reality is that it probably requires less stress and time preparation to film kick-off ahead of time; if this is something first needs to do to allocate their valuable time to something else, I'm okay with that.
Live kick-off was a special event, but it's not the worst of losses, especially if the quality of production rises.
that said, I do think it would be fair for FIRST to give us all a reason for the change.
