Completely disagree, although you do have a point that all the references would help them stick the landing a little better had EoSD been Touhou 18, since 6 is about as devoid of depth and media referencial as it gets within Windows Touhou. I think that opinion mostly stems from the lower standards of the western community and the general lack of culture there, which shouldn't be assumed to be the case in Japan, although the gap in knowledge shouldn't be glorified either.
Touhou's place in time and approach to copyright are 100% what allowed it to stick the landing, it would have done it regardless of which of the 18 entries became the EoSD. Imagining it is admitedly a difficult creative exercise since Touhou itself shaped our idea of it all, but i'm convinced anything would have stuck the landing, given the reaches fans went through with the old characters to fit into molds, jokes, and so on.
