Using the explanation of "it's too modern" doesn't really make any sense, because technology in Naruto makes no sense either. There are televisions, radios, and security cameras, but they also send messages by pigeon. Surely they could have thought that a phone would make for faster communication than pigeon if radios let them communicate instantly.

Pepper spray is in no way a "modern" technology: it's shooting a liquid substance, consisting of chemicals that causes eye irritation, at one's face. Actual ninjas in feudal Japan had the same idea, except they used glass and metal dust in egg shells instead of chemicals in a can. More archaic and brutal in nature, but it's the exact same concept.

As for Swan's behavior in regards to critique, he tells me that the only person that critiqued his work was David and that he made improvements based on David's suggestions, which you can find on Swan's wall.
