Well, let's not get all excited about Lang Lang writing a treatise. What with recording, radio, TV and the internet, treatises on how to play an instrument probably don't have the influence they used to have, especially on stylistic issues.
Also, the most famous virtuoso stars of the stage generally weren't the ones writing the treatises back in the day, at least not the most respected and successful treatises, and I doubt they would be today. Rather, it was the most respected teachers. Hummel was a student of Mozart, was greatly respected by Beethoven, and taught Czerny (as did Beethoven), who in turn taught Liszt. But he belongs to the earlier, pre-romantic, classical period of piano music and playing, when the instruments were quite different as well.
You and David Hurwitz need not get so upset about those who would study such earlier periods in music history. We can never return to them, only learn from them.
