Bravo! This essay is very well put together, and it make my mind go “bling” a couple times.
I have experienced guilt for not taking well to criticism, and I feel this piece helps to explain why: the criticism didn’t address my own unsatisfaction with the work, nor highlight what I thought was an important shortcoming. Looking forward, it required things of me without actually helping me making something better. But as you mentioned, feedback (just an alias for criticism) is almost sacred is certain circles nowadays.
