You’ve basically got it! Your complaints are shared entirely by hbomb. He also draws parallels to other terrible shows that had Moffatt as showrunner (the shittiest Doctor Who episodes and a terrible Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde show that everyone mercifully forgot about)
Moffat has written some truly terrible TV but he was also responsible for many of the best Dr Who episodes, and the Matt Smith era holds up very well imho. Did you ever see Moffat’s Dracula — I think that was the show that best captured his duality as it contained both his best and worst aspects.
I don’t know if you remember Coupling, but that was a very strong bit of TV writing too, even if not my cup of tea. I’ve never seen his Jekyll and Hyde but I believe you if you say it sucked lol

This is largely in the video, though his early Moffat example is the Jekyll and Hyde show

I think he said he enjoyed it, but it was unbelievably camp and low budget
