10% of poker players are winners???

You continue to neglect the more complete picture of poker play that I presented, specifically that the expected number of winners in MTT is very low.

Considering all factors, I would have to conclude that if the total of all winning players is roughly 10%, then the population of winning ring games players would necessarily have to be greater than that.

I think you overestimate skill for MTTs online. With the short rounds online standard deviation is humongous. If for example the WSOP main event was played like an online tourney with respect to round length way fewer big names would make the final two days.

But we can probably agree that the winner span for ring games is something like 7-15% long term winners in limit hold'em.
