I honestly wonder, what kind of person writes a book that compares translations without thinking to include ample examples? Are they intentionally trying to limit their audience?

I agree, but I'd imagine there are copyright issues with the newer translations.

I'm no copyright lawyer. But quoting short passages from multiple translations for comparative literary purposes, is probably fair dealing/fair use.
