I don't disagree with anything you've written but I would just caution everyone that the standard by-law you have quoted may not apply to their strata plans.
The only by-laws that apply to specific buildings are the ones that they adopted. There are only a couple of “obligatory” by-laws and I have a feeling that the flooring one is fairly new (and even then, there's no compulsion for any strata plan to accept it).
This is one of the problems people have to deal with when it comes to hard floors – different building have no by-laws, draconian by-laws, unworkable by-laws and others that make sense but aren't enforced.
That's why the “peaceful enjoyment of your lot” by-law is such a potent force in buildings
