I dont believe that anything as dramatic as terraforming is practical or even possible.

I'd also like to add that the amount you'd need to terraphorm Mars you could just... do to Earth. I think a lot of the points you made are valid, but some of those questions are pretty hypothetical.

Idk, I think it'd be neat for humanity to go off planet and extrasolar. Even if it's not a priority, you can't really do that unless you're working towards it. Doesn't really matter to me regardless, I'll be long dead before it happens.

I have no disagreement beyond your description of them. I agree that they're sycophantic dipshits.

Like, Mars doesn't have a magnetosphere. How the fuck do you make one of those? How do you make the gravity stronger?

Right click on Mars and edit properties. Gosh it's like you've never played Universe Sandbox.
