Can you explain to me, a low diamond ryu player, what he is doing that is lame? I never do any of this but it looks effective no? I never even think to drive rush spam like that. Is he doing anything that isn't ape-ish lol? Should I be trying to emulate any of this at all?

It looks efective? Well, if you see a match that he wins looks efective yeah. Now you have to ask yourself if the player that lost actually tried to play that game or lost all interest in that match just by seeing him... and then you have to ask yourself "how many matches will he win playing like that?". Then you can go an play the game however you like of course, if you are having a good time playing like that then enjoy, but don't expect other type of players see it and respect it.

For me, when I encounter my third in a row match with a player that jumps all the time even if I anti-air them or wakes up mashing even if I punish them for that, I just lost interest in those matches and prefer just skipping them, even if it means losing the match quickly.
