I get Shlomo's point

But the idea of davening maariv (arvis) late on shavuous night that
I could not even get the rabbi-Chaplain of a nursing home to budge.
Even though the MB himself would have probably made an exception!

The protest AISI is NOT against the minhag of davening late per se,
it's about making it MISINAI as the exclusive option! It's like davening
early is like wearing Rabbeinu Tam tefillin INSTEAD of Rashi Tefillin.
It's as if the early option, even though supported by AhS, MGA, and aiui
RYDS has been written off the books somehow....

I think that's the thrust of the complaint AISI.

Erev shabbos we have 3 different zmanim for qabbalas shabbos! Why not
have TWO for ma'ariv on shavuous - viz.
1 after shkia?
2 after tzeis?
