“However,to imply a important Enactment for the Klal was due to personal tribulations is to cast aspersions on the whole Mesorah.”
Why? I understood it that his personal experience led to the realization that it was not beneficial for klal yisroel to continue this practice, not that it was a reaction to a personal problem.
Why would it be any different, say, for example, than a Rav who personally saw how exposure to the internet negatively affected his family, would not press for takanos against internet use?
