Great to see. Almost naebidy does 20mph in Edinburgh, but they aren't doing 35 at least any more!

I don't disagree with what you're saying, but I don't think they're claiming that this move alone will prove a panacea. It still might encourage people to walk or cycle - not as many as the changes you suggest, but it could help.

Also this line:

Getting hit by a car at 20 is better than 30, sure, but it's objectively better to not risk getting hit by a car at all.

At least if it's going at 20 that reduces the risk of being hit at all (as well as the consequences if you are hit).
