No, I want arxiv to host the paper, not to review the paper.

I wouldn't want my google drive to start telling me my paper was too sloppy. I just want a link.

You can also just put a paper on your website (or google drive). If arXiv isn’t working for you, why submit there?

Personally, i see no problem with delays, research takes longer than a few days. Reviews take a few weeks or months even.

Ditto with this, if arxiv is just a hosting site then what’s different then a personal GitHub site hosting your paper? Ai and Google would pick it up eventually.

I want a hosted paper to be archived.

That means that 10 years from now I don’t want think about making sure the hosting server is up.

I also want it to have a standard format for bibliography, DOI, and authors.

I agree it isn’t much, but it’s more than I get from a regular web hosting service and it is a standard format for papers so I don’t think it makes sense for every author to roll their own.
