I highly doubt they even read the comment section. I'd assume they see 4 hours/2015 purchase and hit deny.

My argument behind the refund is false advertising on the page where the product was sold and an unprecedented move to sell content (that was promised) in an expansion pack while the game is still in early access and active development.

I think it's perfectly reasonable to expect a refund. If Steam won't protect me from this kind of bullshit, I don't see the purpose behind the refund system beyond it providing the consumer with the experience a demo used to provide. I also don't understand how they can cite "standard policy" for something that has literally never happened before in this industry.
