Its just the fact during his glide his kick isn't considered a jump attack and hits mid instead of overhead. Like how jump kicks in MK9 can be blocked ducking. Ducking when someone is jumping at you is a bad idea.

That's why all jump-ins are overheads.
Due to the angle of glide~hard it's not possible to make it ambiguous. Your opponent can easily react to you being in glide and just hold crouch if you're above them. If you're not directly above them, then there's no reason to hold down. Glide~hard is also death on whiff.
Correct on both.
Dive kick is actually negative on block. You can even be full combo punished if blocked at a high enough angle.
I guess it's the same idea with this as Akuma's Demon Flip dive kick in AE. Shit would be too strunk. However Akuma still has an overhead dive kick too. Why is Gouki so good? ;_;
Just have someone mash down+light for you when you do strings or moves on block.
My guess would be for pad users. I couldn't tell you how many times where I would play a Street Fighter game on a standard pad because I had nothing else and I would eat low attacks where I would have swore on my life that I was crouch-blocking. Digital pads that only have arrows for the four cardinal directions seem to have a tough time registering a diagonal when you're positive that you are holding a diagonal direction to either crouch-block or jump forward/backward.
