I think he meant it...And from what I see, most Catholics think he meant it as well...

ABSOLUTELY INDEED.

Clearly you cannot understand even simple English, since time and again you get told the same thing and you deny that, what we believe, how we worship actually fits OUR meaning of these words. YOU choose to misconstrue what we believe and then you condemn that falsehood of your own creation. Dishonesty in the extreme. Sad, sinful and frankly evil.
De Montfort was not only a priest, but a tertiary Dominican, as am I - only, of course, I am in the Lay Branch of the Tertiaries. So I have an idea that de Montfort said Mass daily. Unless it was a votive mass of our Lady, in something which takes maybe 30 minutes at the least, our Lady is mentioned once or twice. All the prayers are directed to the Trinity or to one or another person of the Trinity.
He also prayed the daily "office". Again, except on special occasions, Mary is mentioned either not at all, or sparsely.
He probably prayed 5 decades of the Rosary daily. Here Mary gets more "literal" (a word misused a great deal) mention, but the vast majority of the 'mysteries' have little to do with her directly. Certainly in my meditation on them I rarely think of Mary.
So, sure. He was a Mariolater. Certainly somebody who doesn't love him and has read only excerpts would know him far better than somebody who does love him and has read two of his books.
Saint Louis is VERY different from me. I love his excitement and enthusiasm. I expect him to be over the top. I don't read him the way I read Aquinas. I certainly don't read him the way I read Calvin.
But you know best.
