I always thought it was the way it is so that you can still browse it through a text-based browser. If that's true, is there still room for improving it's ease of use?

Yeah this is honestly how I find/download most stuff. Almost all trackers on I'm on have jackett support, and then I can choose the exact release I want.
I don't feel there is any harm in having several accounts spread out for whatever purposes. Compartmentalize it so that each user is distinct and keep the accounts. I think this is the best way to maintain privacy but also not create new accounts constantly. Pretty sure this is good enough to not expose yourself.
Another +1 for gitea. It works quite well and is easy to setup.
It's fairly easy to add local domain names with pihole, so presuming all devices on your network are using it, you shouldn't have a problem.

Yes, I'd say they're absolutely worth it. The main draw is you can get pretty much anything (unless you have very strange tastes) quickly, and be sure of the quality. Maintaining a ratio isn't hard on most trackers with a credits/bonus system, so it's usually not a worry if your upload is kinda slow. And you don't really need to interview for movie/tv trackers. Probably joining a couple entry-level ones would be fit your needs.

Most private trackers are very safe when it comes to malware, publics can be hit or miss. There is always a risk with binary content, which is why some people only grab scene releases for games and check the hashes. In either case, if you're just grabbing videos you should be fine.
Yeah I'd be down for that. It's a specific niche that I don't think exists yet. Would need to have some QC on the encodes coming out though, or it could become ugly pretty quick.
Yes I believe so
P7 has an additional layer, the enhancement layer. It's currently not possible (far as I know) to preserve this when encoding, so it is discarded. You end up with the encoded base layer which has the DV rpu injected.
I would grab the hybrid yeah.
It's done usually because of compatability. You can take a base layer HDR/HDR10 video, then extract the DV rpu, sync it, and inject it into the HDR stream. To answer your question, it is using both the HDR base layer with DV dynamic metada.
For webs, it's usually P5, and the conversion is apparently good enough that it doesn't make a difference for most people. For P7, you are going to lose the enhancement layer when encoding, but that's the price you pay for saving space.
There are instances, especially with discs, when the film is indeed graded differently, but the good encoders/remuxers pay attention to this.
Hmm yeah I can see that point, there is room for optimization.
