From the other point of view: just as it is wrong to condemn someone who does not follow WL's ministry, it is just as wrong to condemn someone who does (even if they do it exclusively). We have the freedom in Christ to follow the ministry/ministries that helps us the most. Please do not tell me which ministry I should read or not read. You may make suggestions but not condemnations. You must be fair on both sides.
We don't know the future. Only time will tell. But as of right now, I have not observed the exclusivity in the newer generation as I have observed in the old.

This brings us the suggestion that you made previously (perhaps in another thread): that for the sake of honesty and clarity the LCs should call themselves the LSM churches. I agree with this. And by definition that is exclusivity.
So if the young leaders coming up are more open and less condemning of other Christians what they are really saying is: "We are open for your to come and fellowship with us in our LSM churches. Here you will have a steady diet of Witness Lee materials and LSM sponsored events. If you are not comfortable with that you will eventually not feel welcome. If you speak out against such exclusivity we will send you on your way."
