What this list of comparisons proves is that the ESV (like the NASB, NIV, HCSB and the majority of 20th century English translations) is based on the Critical Text rather than the TR or the MT.

I think one of the factual contentions may be in error. Dr. Matto says:

"When you purchase an ESV, you are helping fund the NCC which is another enemy of Christ and true Christians."

Yet, on the ESV site, they aver:

"Does Crossway pay royalties to anyone for use of the ESV text?
No. Crossway owns the rights to the text."
