I think the point was there was a tendency not to value or keep minhagim, not an absolute rule. And they possibly gave different status to minhagim which clearly originated with gedolim not un-named masses, eg kabalas shabbos.  As for the yamulka example, that's got a makor in shas and is mentioned by rishonim, no?

Perhaps another example would be Shir hamaalos before bentching which was innovated by the Chida I think.

You'd need a whole range of example and a list of who kept what in order to be more certain, I haven't read the rest of Dr Brown's book to know if he does that.
