Good summary. The latest details should be in the HF20 hardfork documentation where they messed up the way SBD works. For some additional information and a deeper analysis of what went wrong, what can be done and how to benefit from the chaos please have a look at my pre HF20 prediction link
(that became true all too soon) and my two recent posts on the current situation here and here.

Yea it looks like this was just a bad mistake. Instead of allowing people to print SBD at will they increased the print rate and made it so that a haircut is virtually guaranteed. This unfortuanetly decreases the use of it quite a lot.
Yes,
but allowing people to print it is also dangerous. There should be an 'inverse' haircut to make printing unprofitable at larger debt ratios.
I think we just need a more complex solution that allows for private collaterals for SBD. We can still allow the chain to issue SBD using a decentralised collateral. But that would be some work to implement and not be as easy as changing some numbers.
I actually made another analysis (a little more complex this time) where I show that the peg is already broken already at 9% debt ratio where we are already printing sbd at full rate. This is a disaster!
Also buying right now and doing conversions will result in losses.
