I have been to ADZ once, and I found the vendors to be informative and their wares to be the type of gear I would want for a thru-hike. I'm sure others feel the same way.
SO WHAT IS YOUR MAJOR MALFUNCTION?

Folks, the ADZ depends on you for its success. The success of your hike DOES
NOT depend on the ADZ.

vendor faire, despite intense pressure from numerous vendors, who we have
had to politely turn away."
Is your rigorous selection of vendors dependent upon them being your
drinking buddy or do you choose vendors that the hiking community most
utilizes? Why not rotate vendors? Why not use vendors that the hiking
community is most likely to utilize?
You're not fooling anyone. You're serving your own interests first and the
hiking community's second; a gathering of enthusiastic, highly motivated
customers coupled with 'select' vendors....for 3 days.
Don't be a thru-wallet.
