I don't think 6 quarter notes is at all the same thing as 3x2/4 or 2x3/4, any more than 4/4 is indistinguishable from two measures of 2/4.
I agree, but sometimes convenience...
If you use 6/4 to mean 6/Q, then it makes perfect sense to me. But if you use it to mean 3/H, it's confusing (because there seems to be no reason that 3/2 would not be preferable) and, I'd say, wrong.
Well, there is kind of an implied duple to a lot of jazz. Backbeat and that kind of thing, you know. It's not universal, and it's rarely (these days) constant, but it is there.
I think we got it right when we agreed that time signatures are a lousy way to notate some rhythms.
