I don't agree with you, Phil:
- Even if it not so difficult for us, "DX", it's harder than for US hams.
- You're english, so you may have missed another difficulty for "DX" 
stations: Language. Instructions are in english.

I had no problem myself to subscribe to the LotW. Posting a copy of my 
ID card and licence was annoying, but i did it. I can read & understand 
english instructions. I had a problem once with my password, i exchanged 
a few mails with ARRL and they solved it. If all LotW site and 
instructions were in german, as an example, it would certainly be a 
*lot* more difficult for me.. and you ?
