2. The Gauntlet was just that a highly durable Gauntlet. We saw it's mold casing in the workshop, and again no tech whatsoever is in the Gauntlet and it had no power by itself. Nowhere is it even assumed that the Gauntlet had powers or had any other purpose than holding the Stones. Again provide any actual feats or clips or director notes that even implies this and until then your assumptions are not true.

3. You said the Stones don't work outside of containers or the Staff and it clearly does. Also I a!ready mentioned Wanda had powers at birth but it was the Stone that gave her all her Mind Control and Telekinesis powers and unlocked her Scarlet Witch powers(which she mastered in her final episode and in the clip I provided in this thread).

4. The Stones were explicitly hidden as to not be combined, that was explained in th movies which is why the Stones were not just out by themselves but masked as other things(The Tessaract, The Orb, The Eye of Agamotto, etc) so that is why they weren't just by themselves in the open. And again Thanos used a Stone by itself because he was powerful enough to, and the fact that nobody else really could is because they are aspects of the Universe and really powerful and alsomhiu needed knowledge on how to use them(except the Power Stoned which could be used by anyone if they could withstand it's power).

I honestly can't say anything more than this. So unless you come back with actual feats or not from the director that back up your claims that facts remain the same that the Stones held all the power over the feats they did and not the random containers holding them that were never show or even implied to have any effect on the power output of the Stones.
1. No, only Two stones have been shown to be useable by others outside their casing. The Reality stone (Which seems to default to fusing with people) and the power stone (One use of which required Star-Lord's celestial heritage, and the other use was just enhancing a punch)

2. We also saw Stormbringer's casing, which also has no visible tech despite being confirmed to be tech. So we can't just the techy-ness of the Gauntlet based purely on visuals. Based on the fact that Thanos had to get Eitri to make it, it can't just be a normal gauntlet.

Also, the fact that he has to gesture with the guantlet to in order to activate the stones is a pretty be indicator that they don't react to the thoughts of their users. If someone with an infinity stone could just activate them with a thought, Thanos would have never needed to physically touch the power stone to take out Carol.

3. Where is your evidence that the stone gave Wanda her telekinesis and Mind control? She didn't even know she had powers before encountering the stone, so it's not like she'd be able to tell if the stone gave her new ones. And again, Wanda didn't use the stone, the stone acted of it's own according. You can't use that as evidence that the stones can be used by anyone.

Again, Vision never uses the Mind Stone to mindwhammy anyone. By your argument, he should have been to do telepathy against people because he has the mind stone. But he never does. He doesn't use it to pacify the Avengers, he doesn't use it to fight against Thanos army, he doesn't use it against Thanos himself. Why wouldn't he if he had those powers? And if you said "PIS" is not a valid answer.

4. The only stone Thanos used it the one that's shown to react to just being touched, which none of the other stones do. He also didn't do anything complicated with it, he just threw a punch, which indicates that he didn't have fine control over it.
