>Never said.
FT says he saw the outside world and decided to cast aside his humanity. He never mentions looking for a way out, all his annotations and research was spent trying to come back from the Netherworld (which is it's own world by the way, seperate from Gensokyo so that's one way of leaving it, but he chose to come back). He is not aware of the fact he couldn't, maybe he could have found out about it but nothing suggests he even tried. He should know about outsiders showing and leaving.
>They want to destroy Gensokyo and turn it into a copy of the outside world.
Headcanon I urge you to read the article again, they want to remove youkai from Gensokyo, not turn it into a copy of the outside world. There's no mention of developping technology or anything other than being human controlled.
>If the omniscient youkai are expelled from Gensokyo and Gensokyo falls under human control, it is absolutely necessary that they know the truths about this land, said he.
They want Gensokyo to be under human control, but they don't know doing so would destroy Gensokyo and the other non youkais, the gods, dragons and other fantastical creatures and beneficial non humans would also disappear. Which is why they're looking into the history. They risk their lives (non canon now since new canon superseeds old one after all) but Keine was more than willing at the time to teach them so it's not like this was being witheld from them. They either weren't interested at all because no one joined in the end or this secret society was just a hoax, it's just rumours after all, one anonymous statement and Keine just comments on the society as a whole as part of the rumour, you guys love pulling the Akyuu is untrustworthy card, but you'd rather trust Aya? It could just be youkai ragebait.
Seperate from that, every other normal human wasn't interested in joining the class either, maybe they don't feel that strongly about youkai beyond not wanting to get spooked?
The group she talks about with Keine in the follow up interview doesn't seem to refer to the secret society as she says they're "beginning to change", whereas the "secret society" is already in place so it wouldn't be beginning to change. The interview takes place a bit after the article as she is only considering opening a history school at that time.
>It means they want Youkai to go away. That would destroy Gensokyo, therefore they want to leave.
Same as above. They don't know that last part.
>Which is basically correct.
It's wrong, the youkai aren't raising human to kill them all off. They're not killing or intent to kill any of them.
>He would still rather be without Youkai. which would destroy Gensokyo.
"Be without youkai" meaning "would rather be living in the outside world" only works because of meta knowledge. Just like everything cited no villagers knows about the fact that doing so would destroy Gensokyo. This may have changed with new canon, but this information was not a guarded secret, the humans don't know because they're not interested.

In all the conversations we've seen of villagers, we've never seen them express a desire to leave Gensokyo at any point ever, the biggest one is FT saying he saw the outside world, didn't like how Gensokyo humans lived under the yoke of youkai, so he decided to join the youkai.
Wanting to remove youkai does not mean wanting to destroy or leave Gensokyo. In a very easy example to follow, you really hate black people, if you had a button to exterminate all black people in your country you would, does that mean you hate everything about your country? No, especially if you didn't know that pressing this button would also nuke your country.
Gensokyo isn't just youkai, it's all other fantastical elements of life.It's the gods, it's the blessed harvest, it's knowing what's after death, and all of that. Youkai can't be removed from Gensokyo, but Gensokyo isn't just youkai.
