Do they explain what Exarchs are? And how they're something else different from Angels?

Indeed. Devils are now angels who rebelled and slew the god they served. Asmodeus, being the greatest of the rebels, took on the godhead. The astral realm of the god twisted into a prison called the Nine Hells, from which Asmodeus and his followers wish to escape.
and Lolth should get back down in the Abyss where she belongs!
Apparently, she still will be. Although the origin story is slightly different, she still becomes the Demon Queen of Spiders.

Really, I thought the Demon Web Pits might be an Astral Dominion?

I find it ironic that you are complaining about there not being enough "fluff" rules while many other people are complaining that the "fluff" is messing the rules up.
The strangest thing is that we both use "improve" DMing, but I find the current stat blocks overwhelming and distracting from doing that. There is to much rules there for my use. So I'm happy to see the statblocks reduced to "combat abilities" with the flexibility to assign whatever social role I want to monsters.
It might also pay to wait to see a full 4E monster write up before condeming the 4E monster rules - because so far we haven't seen a single MM entry and so have no factual evidence to debate the quality of monsters on at all. (Yes I know of the Bone Devil DDM card - but its not a MM write up, its a summary card for quick reference.)
What I didn't like about the 3rd Ed Skill system is that if you wanted a wicked NPC musician, he would have to have tons of HD (a lot of hp) so you could pump up that Perform (instrument) check, which doesn't make sense, I mean look at guys like Mozart, Jimi Hendrix and Allan Holdsworth, these dudes would have a sick amount of Ranks in Perform (instrument), but wouldn't have more than a few hp.

You forgot the Druid levels

Yep, you were a fighter/thief under druidic tutelage.
