I mean, there are plenty of people still blinded by their fanboyism for W. While I'm absolutely loving Gaim, I can sorta see where you're coming from because I never got behind the hype for W, myself.

As for Kaito. I thought they explained that his father's business was erased by Yggdrasill causing his family to become super poor. He was sort of taken aback by the amount of power they had which made him feel weak - something he never wanted to feel again. In favor of "helping others," they destroyed his life, leading to trust issues and lack of teamwork. Ever since, he's had this goal of becoming strong enough to overcome Yggdrasill by himself.
