Aye, these are all reasonable points, but there will be corresponding advances on the US side in evading detection, adding confusion, and masking signals. I recommend the podcast episode, I listened to it this morning—Bean’s clearly evolved on this, but basically says, “I think it will come down to a cyber race to see who has better zero-days.”
I have so far resisted thinking in terms of “I think it will come down to a cyber race to see who has better zero-days” because my heuristic for this sort of thing is that programmers tend to overestimate our own importance. But then I think about WWI where technological advances were vastly underestimated by the military establishment on the Western Front. It could go either way.

Yes to all.
