As an only barch user, I can vouch to say that when I see a very centralized CC on a base like this does in the high 2800s+, I am very happy, but still to this day, not many people know how to barch properly and only a handful are very comfortable with it. On the other hand, barching an anti-base is generally a huge "No, No" in my own experiences when using barch at higher leagues due to the surplus amount of buildings that you need to take out in order to get the 50% (ie, barracks, mines, drills, etc) and you can't solely rely on trying to pick off the defenses because when versing a maxed base, the troops will not last long enough, especially since not only are the wizard towers exposed but also the mortars making it another reason why attacking this kind of base would cause problems since splash coverage on the outside are very deadly to barch. AND if you do attack this base with barch, you will be forced to attack heavier on some sides in order to reach buildings on that second layer and when you do that, CC will be trigger, and xbows will cleanup or time will run out due to the troops being focused on the CC.
The same thing goes for balloons, great strategy originated by Daddy and modified over time but still many people seem to not use it or are still very ineffective with it. Loonion attacks in general are very strong suited and without a doubt a 99.9% chance you will get a 1 star on an Anti-hog base with loons even if you have excellent coverage with your air defenses. In this case, because of how exposed the defenses are on the outside layer, Loonions will have a breeze picking off these defensive buildings on the outside and a straight shot into the core; this is possibly where the centralized ADs come in. Note, anti hog bases are not really meant to be invicible against all attacks, rather just be able to hold off the 1 star or at most the 2 against hogs due to their 3-star capabilities.
And as you say, GOWIWI in any case can destroy any TH9 base no matter how maxed.
