Who cares what he'd prefer. Whatever the psak he got, that's what he has to do.
Obviously.
But whoever told him who to ask (rather than give a psak himslef) might have cared about what he prefers.
So when you say you feel bad for anyone who has an "abbreviated" (I put that in quotes because of you look in the book that was given on Sinai, that's what yuntif is) yuntif, you meant you feel bad for anyone who doesn't have a kesher with a Rebbe in Chul? Or doesn't have a kesher with your Rebbe?
The same book that was given on Sinai is the one that tells us to make a ברכה בשם ומלכות on the second day Y"T.
There are obviously various levels. Similar to the explanation of why we say 3 brochos every morning (שלא עשני גוי, שלא עשני עבד, and שלא עשני אשה), so too there are various levels to what one would consider as being fortunate. One might be a shomer torah umitzvos but have no connection to a Rebbe. Another might have a connection to a Rebbe, but doesn't learn תורת החסידות, etc. etc. etc. There's no criticism of anyone, nor is one better than the other, one who has what he can see that others might not, could feel more fortunate.
