And I realize that a lot of people are more interested or comfortable in just tossing a flippant dismissal off than actually delving into the deeper implications of something that seems archaic and obvious. But thinking never hurt anyone.

I did actually answer some of your questions.
Like I say: Fux was probably reacting to the excesses or laxness in the music of his day. Not sure how repeating an exposition has much to do with that. I think that, simply, our boredom threshold is now very small - due to all the constant multimedia bombardment that we all undergo. Of course hearing things twice helps stick things in the memory, but, as modern composers, we can find other ways of doing that without using verbatim repeats.
This is all guesswork, but it's answering a very vague question/statement anyway.
