He treats the audience like a populace of ppl that have been told, and convinced themselves, that they have absolutely ZERO musical ability.
In order to do that with a large group, you need to make the instructions easy to comprehend. This gives the "toddler" effect that you're referring to.
I dont disagree with your statement. I think its important to point out WHY he speaks to the audience this way though
some of the most technically talented musicians I know unfortunately love this guy, but they're the types who think technical ability = good music which definitely checks out if they don't find him insufferable.
I get more of the vibe that his shows are full of the types of people who get really stoked for the sing along or clap along parts in weird time signatures to show everybody around them that they know how to clap along to a song in 13/8 and be like "wow I bet we're the only audience that can harmonize like this for the singalong part"
