How did they become a superior player? They have talent, which is innate, and they had the opportunity to play and practice for lots of hours.

AA doesn't attempt to equalize skill level. It attempts to equalize access to tools for success.
What would those goals be? Currently they are either ambiguous or unattainable.

Doesn't matter how they became a superior player. Fact is they are. If the handicap favors me, they are a superior player. If there is no handicap, we are equals.

AA wasn't there for Japanese products when they were junk. Today, they have built themselves up to threaten US products. More to the point, they did it legitimately in a level field with no handicap. Unless you consider the anti-Japanese sentiment after WWII.
