If IOTA is supposed to be something that regular people will use (either directly or indirectly through interactions with IOT devices), point #2 doesn't seem relevant.
You can use a credit card without ever having to calculate your own Luhn checksum. You can send money to a bank account without having to untangle the rat's nest that is ACH.
It makes the IOTA team's priorities look skewed when they don't have basic wallet functionality, but they have time to implement ternary math and new cryptographic primitives that aren't useful with existing hardware.
