I guess am an ignorant newbie. What's changed that's causing everyone to be upset? Just the requirement to have to apply for a LODA?

Gary, couplethree questions for you.
Your profile states you work in "Government"-----
Are you with the FAA? And if so;
How high up in the org are you? And lastly;
Any factual inside info you are able to share?
I'm here on behalf of myself and my point of view is entirely my own.

No issue with that, but you evaded answering the question.
I think I woke up an put my rose colored glasses on. Wouldn't it be nice if this is just a simple paper work exercise and when the Administrator speaks at AirVenture they can say that they have already issued thousands of LODAs and they have an efficient streamlined system in place to process them.At AirVenture, when the Administrator is introduced or whenever he makes a comment, let's hope that nobody applauds when he is introduced.
I would apply for a LODA to get training in your 9A and a LODA to provide instruction in RVs. Just a CYA.1. My CFI/I buddies give me instruction for free in my RV-9A, and I give them instruction for free in their spam cans. No money changes hands, no records are kept, no tit for tat. Are two LODAs needed? Play safe, get a LODA.
2. I demonstrate the Expanded Envelope Exercises® in my RV-9A. Neither I nor the recipient log this as dual instruction, and the time is not usable towards any "pilot certificate, rating, or operating privilege" -- unless I let them land the airplane, and then the landing counts. There is no compensation here although for ground instruction, I let them buy lunch. Does this require a LODA? Play safe, get a LODA.

Providing flight training for compensation in your RV is prohibited. The only exception is with a LODA that is for Transition Training. There are also insurance implications of providing training for compensation in your own experimental. You may not be insured. And the FAAs definition of "compensation" is very broad. If you are receiving any type of compensation for that training, logging time, maybe even that lunch, or the marketing value, may expose you to an enforcement action. I would think this risk is very low and would only happen if the FAA wanted to make an example of you, like they did with the warbird operation. I would continue to demonstrate the Expanded Envelope Exercises® in your RV-9A. I would think very hard about logging any of the time by the instructor or the student.
So I am working on my instrument rating in my -7 and of course get a BFR every 2 years, do I need a LODA for the instruction in my plane or does the instructor need a LODA or both of us?
If the instruction is provided for free (instructor is a very good friend and not charging anything) does that change things.
What will be required for the instrument check ride, will I have to take it in a certified aircraft?
Figs
My wife has 450 hours in our RV6A. I’m a CFI, can I give her a flight review without a LODA?
Why is that any of your business?
Well, as a moderator I try to keep things on track with the forums.
Something about his posts tickled my spidey sense.
Also, I have received PMs about his posts relating to the same issues I see, which reinforced my concerns.
Now, just to keep the playing field level------why is what I am doing any of your business?
Seems a bit like doxxing.
Are the arguments, questions and logic factual and valid?
