What EXACTLY was wrong with MAKEDEV? So it created a few extra nodes

only valid complaint AFAIK. Udev's ability to handle hot-plugged devices
was considered a not-very-needed feature.
But, as you see, udev didn't really solve the missing-device problem
because it created a missing-module problem.
Forgot to say a trivial thing: IMHO it is easier to explain
mknod+chown+chmod than kernel+modprobe+udev.
