All of which kind of leaves me scratching my head then, wondering why the USAF actually chose the KC-45.

You said yourself, politics had a big part to play in them opting to go with the KC-46A at the second (or third) time of asking, so you have to ask yourself how many of those capabilities you list are actually required by the USAF, as opposed to being drawn into the requirements in order to get the 'correct' outcome when the competition was rerun?
