Are there separate terms and conditions somewhere else?
When they first brought these out - many, many years ago - they were called a Transfer 90, and they only allowed 2 journeys.I always thought it would only work on 2 bus journeys a colleague disagrees and the DB site is, as you've found, not great at explaining it! It does say unlimited so I suppose any number of buses could be used.
Dwell times at some stops are crazy, queues of people lining up with cash fares
If hiking cash fares means people will be encouraged to go pre-pay I'm all for it
Ironically, the more people move to the Leap cards, the worse the dwell time will be.
Tagging on on the right hand machine will get you charged almost the max fare (currently €2.20), to pay any less you have to go to the driver and have him issue your fare.

Because there are thousands of bus stops. Do you really want them to put a machine at every one?
The smart card devices are already on the buses. I'm guessing that the limitation is that they are not location sensitive - so they have no GPS tracker or other technology that will let the smartcard reader know what stop they are at when the person tags on.
Actually reading how the system works on Dublin bus makes no sense. From my understanding, you can only tag on the right side of the bus when paying the maximum fare. Otherwise you still have to get the driver deduct the correct fare from your card. Is this correct? Haven't seen it in use yet so am curious.
