I think it would have helped the situation a lot if JKR had written more about house-elves (besides Dobby) who wanted to be freed and also about witches and wizards who agreed with Hermione. Because it's kind of ridiculous to think she is the only one who ever looked at the situation and thought it was messed up. Not saying a whole bunch of people being in SPEW would make it more right but at least the whole thing would have seemed more balanced.

But oh well, JKR is never going to rewrite the HP series based on what I wanted to happen and I'm sure that's for the best.

She wasn't writing a balanced situation, she was writing a situation where Hermione was well-meaning but objectively wrong.

Yeah. With the house elves still enslaved at the end of the books (but treated more nicely by their masters!) I can see how someone with poor reading comprehension might go away thinking that Hermione was silly for being so enthusiastic about SPEW. Harry did seem to be ok with keeping Kreacher on as a servant, and he’s a good guy.

Please explain exactly what I'm missing in the book and how, specifically, I have poor reading comprehension. Because from where I'm sitting, the book definitely portrays the enslavement of house elves as fine and Hermione as silly for being so enthusiastic about SPEW.

I think it's pretty clear that Kreacher himself had no desire to go and be free, so I don't blame Harry for that choice. But the implication that every single other house elf wanted that too gets... weird.
