On point 4, why don't they just go back to what they used to do in the
World Series Cup?

Because bowling using a 25-over old ball is quite different from using a
50-over old ball; an that would change the game substantially and give an
advantage to fast bowlers.

Not necessarily. It can cut both ways. Newer ball is harder and therefore
comes on to the bat.
