From the clip, it doesn't sound like a lot of other planes were holding or
inbound. The controller didn't interact with a single other plane during the
4 or 5 minute clip. Unless the clip was clipped, talking the guy in was a
courteous thing to do. If there had been others holding or already inbound,
then talking him through it would have been more difficult and more
dangerous.

By the way, I haven't seen anyone else refer to the fact that not only did
he not have the NOTAMs, it didn't seem as if he had even read them
thoroughly - much less study them. He also didn't have sectionals. All he
had was enroute charts. I don't buy his line that he left them at the
airport. Sounds like a guy used to IFR flight plans for every flight and
just decided to drop in on OSH.

The consequence of this very true statement is that the world will
always have guys like these running around. By trying to be "nice" the
controller became just another contributor to the problem.

I understand your point and agree, but was the controller just "trying
to be nice" or did he instantly size-up the situation and conclude that
the best thing he could do for everyone else in the sky would be to help
get him out of there as efficiently as possible?
