"I have a couple of thoughts on that."

Hello, I need to point out to some mistakes in your argument. You said:

"as all of Gwyn's subjects and family members are likely to possess at least a shard of his Lord Soul"

From the first Dark Souls, it's heavily implied that Gwyndolin actually never met Gwyn, he was raised in secret after Gwyn left to either fight the dragons os the demons, therefore Gwyndolin never got a piece of his lord soul. Only Seath and the 4 kings got a shard, as explained by their Lord Soul.

FromSoftware don't put things just because, so the theory about Smough does make sense. He wouldn't have to have a piece of Lord Gwyn soul in order to be powerful, he manage to create an illusion of his sister and fool most people for many years so this does sounds within his realm.
