As mentioned by many, feeding rodents to a savannah monitor isn't necessarily incorrect. As you implied, poor housing is.
Diet is not what is killing savs in captivity. A sav fed an invert-only diet will die just as quickly in a improper habitat as it would if it had the occasional rodent thrown into the menu. Dead is dead.

You are absolutely correct, and nobody's arguing that point. The reason that type of husbandry works so well, though, is because we are doing our best to provide a bit of their natural environment.
