> 1. A terminal shouldn't be able to ask some resource on the internet what to type and auto-execute it.

Every Linux shell can do that, regardless of your terminal emulator, and arguably that's by design:

    curl https://givemesomecoolshellcommands.com | sh
What iTerm can do is essentially just some GUI sugar around that capability.

If you don't like it, just don't do it :)
