A) The 20 runs FAIRLY late

True, but there's still heavy demand for 24/7 service to at least Yonkers Avenue.

B) The 19 doesn't need Sunday service, sorry!

Yes it does, look at its ridership statistics it gets more ridership than the 16 that runs 7 days a week. It's very popular on Saturdays with people in Ossining commuting to Pleasantville and shopping in Mount Kisco.

Bee-Line is working on service improvements, but not having 24 hour service doesn't bring the operation.

Just like it brings down Suffolk Transit it also brings down Bee-Line. Part of running a public transportation involves actually serving passengers when they need it, and in many cases Bee-Line fails to do so like how early the last 14 bus leaves Peekskill. Even Transport of Rockland runs most of its buses until at least 11PM.

You're Not gonna find nearly an operation with operators trained they way Bee-Line operator's are trained.

I agree when it comes to Liberty Lines and PTLA, but Port Chester-Rye transit employees can't even dress properly for the job, I once saw one oddly dressed in a T-Shirt, Swimming Trunks, and flip-flops, so if those guys can't even dress properly it's hard to believe that they're trained properly.
