2 is really the killer for me. I don't mind self-checkout when I have a few items but the annoying security measures just make it too slow for many items. I also doubt they actually prevent much theft. Are most people sneaking non-scanned items onto the "purchased" scale? Surely they could just leave it in their reusable bag and bypass the whole system. It feels like they could never say no to any security feature, no matter how inconvenient and ineffective it is. On top of that they have tons of prompts for donations and other spam that slows it down further. There are a few stores near my that I actually avoid no because their self-checkouts are so customer hostile (and they have no or very little regular checkouts). I won't shop at a store that treats me poorly.
