I agree on both points. If you compare Mahler's orchestration of the 9th symphony to Cooke's version of the 10th, the 10th does sound somewhat spartan and lean IMO, but had Cooke filled it out more, I'm sure there would be outrage and protests that it was tasteless and overdone. With Bruckner's 9th, like you I see no reason to accept whatever Haas or earlier Bruckner editors did to the other symphonies and yet reject any completed version of the 9th.
As I said, IMO it's the historical circumstances of the completion of Mozart's Requiem that makes it acceptable for many to view that as a finished work and not Mahler's 10th or Bruckner's 9th. To me, that's completely arbitrary.
