pro bodybuilders' drug bill is quite different to the natural lifters'. from what you write my guess is you're still in the early stages of reading lifting literature, and my suggestion is divert your attention away from bodybuilding muscle mags.
And what are you trying to say...strength athletes don't have muscles? Anyway it does not matter. You still haven't answered the question of what arnold presses offer that normal presses don't. It doesn't really mean much whether bodybuilders do arnold presses if you can't think of the reason behind such a stupid exercise

so what you're saying is "biomechanically speaking, you can hurt yourself using upright rows." gee, mister, ya think? biomechanically speaking, you can tear any muscle you exercise, and i've known people who have, but none of them ever had a problem with the upright row.
i'm still waiting on the peer reviewed literature.
fyi, i don't read bodybuilding mags, haven't in years. but i am a certified personal trainer and almost done with my bachelors in sports med/ex. science. don't make assumptions, you know the old saying...
and you're right, i haven't answered your question about the extra plane of motion in the arnold press. i don't know if it does help or not, but from personal experiance and that of others, it seems to... so other than you're dissenting opinion, the general opinoin seems to be that it's a good exercise.
