That would be news to all the varmint hunters who use 30-round magazines.

Because they felt like it, and because the Constitution protects their right to do so.
And hardly simple to convert. In addition to buying the specialized parts, you need a competent gunsmith to install them, otherwise you just end up ruining the gun.
Not many competent gunsmiths seem willing to commit such major felonies.

Nope. It is an assault weapon because of its cosmetics alone.

Careful. You're going to undermine your effort to pretend there is any reason to ban those features.
