I try to stay as unbiased as possible.
A majority of the team members I interact with at Universal are very friendly and helpful. The same goes for Disney. There are bad apples in both bunches, but you seem to like to single out Universal.
You clearly were closing your eyes as you walked around the park if you see no outdoor entertainment/characters. Blues Brothers plays daily in New York, Star Toons goes on at the Kidzone, Egyptian Stiltwalkers chill near Mummy, the Marvel heroes parade into the Marvel area, Jurassic Park Rangers carry around baby trikes, there are regularly scheduled storybook readings at Seuss Landings, and characters such as Jimmy Neutron, Dora, the Simpsons (though not back in 2006), Doc Brown, Men in Black agents, Beatlejuice, Bullwinkle, Cat in the Hat, Grinch, Woody/Winnie Woodpecker, Curious George & The Man in the Yellow Hat, Scooby, gy, Spider-Man, Rogue, Storm, Captain America, Wolverine, and Lucy are all regularly out and about. And that doesn't include all of the other excellent shows at Studios and Islands (with the exception of Fear Factor - that one sucks!) Nice try.
Non-thrill attractions at the Studios? Jimmy Neutron (stationary seating if you must), Twister, Shrek, Beatlejuice, Disaster, Jaws, Men in Black, Fear Factor (though bleh, who wants that), Animal Actors, Horror Make-Up Show, Terminator, and E.T., not counting the small-child attractions like Barney or Nuthouse. I count far more than 4... in fact, there are only 3 thrill rides in the Studios, two of which were open at the time of your trip, Mummy and BTTF (now Simpsons)! Again, nice try!
I'm in a "Universal-can-do-no-wrong" phase? Given your past posts in this discussion along with your overall attitude, I'd say that you're in a "Disney-can-do-no-wrong" phase if anything.
