This is a very interesting topic which - despite being an English teacher here in the States for over 20 years - I've just become aware of. I think it's quite complex but I appreciate this clear overview. I agree completely that there is no reason native speaking teachers would have better methodologies than anyone else. At the same time, I admit I have a harder time and more conflicted feelings when I contemplate fully letting go of the idea that native speakers of whatever language have an instinct for it. I am still processing my thoughts on all this. Thank you for your clear yet concise overview.

This is much ado about nothing. People want NET for the reason I want a native French teacher or a native Turkish teacher: because fluency matters to the learner.
