You cannot honestly say ALL of these can be explained away.
The pattern of bad changes is too huge to ignore.

Beware of idolatry. Human mind is an idol factory, anything, including the church organization, papacy, marriage, certain doctrines, and yes, the bible itself of certain translation, can be worshipped as an idol, and you'll go so far by identifying yourself with your idol. When your belief in your idol is being challenged or questioned, your inner defensive mechanism is triggered, and that's the case for the KJV only crowd. Yes, there're issues with nkjv, the same can be said on any translation, and that's just English translation. This is more about human cognitive bias.

Also, readability matters. IMO reading a modern translation and understanding the text is better than reading KJV and pretending to understand the text due to both the archaic language and your own misconception; learning something is better than nothing.
