(1) The 1769 text is a standardized one, because no two copies of the KJV before that date were the same.

It was basically an attempt by Oxford printers to create a uniform version.

99% of KJV Bibles in print are the 1769 edition.

“King James did have a very questionable personal life. but he was not directly involved in doing the translating.”

Indeed. In retrospect, I wish they had named the translation something along the lines of “The Royal English Bible” or “The English Reformation Bible” instead. That way, it would take some focus off who happened to be the monarch at the time.
