I can pass your requests on to Phil Schiller, senior VP of marketing at Apple in case you don't already know, but I don't know if he can do much about it. As for your issues:

1) You can drag a file, a graphic, a snippet of text, or anything, and switch applications any way you like while holding the mouse button down. Useful for: showing the desktop, dragging a file from it, hitting F9 to show all windows, finding the one you want, hitting space to select it (or F9 again), and dropping the file. I've been doing this recently with screenshots. You can also Command-tab while dragging.

2) Most definitely. Agree 100% with you on this one — even if I never used it, there should be the option.

3) There's nothing to zoom out to! What did you wish to do with this? If you could zoom out beyond the normal resolution, there would be nothing out there. It's like when you expand a window in Photoshop without changing the zoom level — you get a big gray area surrounding the image. Sure, this can be useful in Photoshop, but what would you do with it when applied to the whole computer?
