Those people who are unhappy with their training at a particular school can move on and find something more challenging and more in line with their personal needs. Those who are happy and are having their needs met by their current instructor can stay right where they are.

It's telling that you did not name what those flaws are in Muay Thai (other than it's lack of a counter-ground game), JKD and Kali. Care to name at least five for each (Karate flaws would basically be all the above, shoot and BJJ, lacking in the stand up aspect). I'm curious as to what you'd come up with.
Here's a hand up - Kali's movement principles apply just as well empty handed as on the ground - what's left? And good luck finding flaws in JKD's well-rounded game.
