Like I said before, my stance is firm and my interpretation is well within what's printed. Talk at me all you wish, but until the dev team comes in and says otherwise I won't be swayed.

Pope Urban VIII said much the same thing when Galileo said that the Sun was the center of the solar system. You say that a creature with 20' natural reach wielding a 7' long Glaive should only get its reach increased by 5' because a (medium) creature with the standard 5' reach would also get an increase of 5'. But you fail to account for why a small creature with a reach of 5' wielding a 3.5' glaive still gets the very same 5' increase. If you can't wrap your head around a creature with 20' reach wielding a 7' medium reach weapon attacking 25-40', why can you easily accept a small creature with 5' reach wielding a 3.5' small reach weapon and attacking at 10'? I'll grant you have a firm stance (for whatever that's worth), but you can't have "well within what's printed" nor can you have, "doesn't make sense" because you are contradicted in rejecting one position based on "doesn't make sense" while accepting another that equally doesn't make sense. Obstinance, in and of itself, isn't a virtue.
