To my knowledge, there's no requirement for Antediluvians to have Discipline 10 powers.
They can have them, but its not a must.
And there's several Discipline 9 powers that are already setting-breaking; see high-dot Temporis, for example.
I dont know how the QM would stat Kukulkan; for all we know, he maxes out at a bunch of Discipline 9s, combination Disciplines and unique powers.
Or he might even have Discipline 10s, and not use them because There Is Always A Bigger Fish in the Dresden Files, and trying to do so has personal Consequences, like loss of permanent Willpower dots, or Derangements, or something similar.
Or potentially stabbed with a Sword.
1) All several thousand members of the White Council covered up the manner of Morgan's death in canon. The Fomor managed to keep the identity of their Empress secret from most outsiders for centuries at a minimum. Nobody in all of Winter told Harry shit about the Leanansidhe, third in command of Winter, being detained until he met her in the heart of Arctis Tor.
Information security is important; a lot of people try to practice it.
The Cleveland Pathfinders Molly fought either died or didnt see her suited up. No Red Court vampires saw us fight in Vegas and lived. The only spirits who saw Molly fight in Vegas and lived were Charon and the Sin-Eater. The only people who saw Molly fight the Jades were all servitors of Kakuri or Odin, none of whom are prone to gossiping to the outside world.
No Nephandi mage has seen Molly fight and lived to yap.

2) How many vampires have better than Auspex 1-2?
How many of them have the skill or experience to tell what the fuck they are looking at? Isabella's Uncle Leinth is a literal White Court methuselah who saw Molly at arms-length and mistook her for a Jade Court elder in this quest.
And how many of those who are in the know are on the market to sell information?
Some spirits/supernaturals will not do business with you at all depending on your affiliation, or will set the price too high for you to pay, depending on whether they like you or not, or if they think the subject is too hot or likely to draw trouble. Native Americans in the Dresdenverse(and IRL) refuse to talk about naagloshii to most askers, to give one example.
You seem to believe that information is like the Internet, and that once its out there it can be easily acquired.
It really isnt. There's hoops to be jumped through, and scaled, and the fact that we get to skip most of those is one of the reasons we're so dangerous.

3) One.
Thats the vote I was referring to; you will notice that all the Charisma/Man/App/Int increases were discounted to 1XP because Molly had been using drugs to reduce the costs. If not, any of those would have cost upwards of 10XP.
Two.
I didnt win the plan vote either. Yog's Plan Security Home And Abroad did, 11 to 9.
Molly Carpenter... neophyte wizard, prisoner of the fey and technically a warlock, now champion of the forgotten Hells whose masters have faded from the universe long ago. If the Yozi could laugh from beyond oblivion they would. Also Harry Dresden did technically set the green fire....
