Not surprising, since the above invocation is a hack to replace the
standalone version of info with info running in Emacs, without the
rest of Emacs intruding.

No, but the Emacs menu can start info, and the screen you see at
startup when you invoke emacs without any arguments tells you how to
read the info documentation.

Nope. To read Info pages with Emacs, if you don't like Emacs and want
to use it in as unobtrusive a way as possible, you need the
info-standalone function. If you are an Emacs user, you hit C-h i or
use the menu.

No, you need to be an emacs expert (or know one) to replace the crappy
standalone info with a more palatable one.
