The Novus Ordo "presider" no longer even calls himself a priest;

That's absurd. All priests who celebrate the Novus Ordo disavow the name of priest? All of them are disinterested in the sacrificial nature of the Mass? The actual texts don't bear this out, of course - they are not focused on men instead of Christ!

What's with the "presider" business in the first place? Why is the presider's chair in the central place of honor instead of the tabernacle? Why all the excitement at handshake-time? Why has the sacrificial altar been traded-in for a table? Why has a prayer-before-mealtime been substituted for the Offertory which had offered a "spotless Victim" to the Father? Inquiring minds want to know.

No not all, but many do.
