Am I The Only One Who Noticed This? (BL2 Plot Discussion)

SpoilerBloodlines 2

In all the criticism of Bloodlines 2, even the favorable analysis of the story, it doesn't seem like anyone else picked up on the fact that you aren't fighting the Anarchs in the beginning of the game. Everyone I've talked to just says "Wow, the Anarchs are acting like idiots," but seemingly nobody noticed how Tolly says, right in the first scene with Ryong, that the Anarchs are being framed by someone, and Benny is espousing Sabbat talking points before being entombed by the actual Anarchs (Hates the Camarilla/Prince, but wants to kill all the Thinbloods, something the Sabbat do because they believe the Thinbloods are a sign of Gehenna, which the Camarilla doesn't even believe in). The guys attacking the cops for no reason in the tutorial, the guys attacking the tower, the guys around the suspiciously empty Anarch bar...these are Sabbat false-flagging as Anarchs, or atleast people who the Gardener is messing with via the weird influence he's been sending out to other mortals and vampires. I also think that's why Katsumi is so willing to cooperate with you and let you walk into her bar while she operates openly in Seattle. What happened was not tied to her people. There's no way in hell she would be allowed to operate like that after an attempted coup like we saw at the beginning.

Has anyone else noticed this? It seems like nobody else picked up on Tolly talking about the Anarchs being framed, or how Katsumi seemed entirely divorced from the attempt on the tower.
