I think all your other points are good, but a response to #4. I think one issue might be that it's ambiguous to enforce. If implemented, could an employer not rephrase the question: "How much would you like to get paid?" and still get away with the same discrimination?

Is the final solution here a race to the bottom to normalize wages to prevent perceived discrimination based on non-quantifiable metrics?

"How much would you like to get paid" pretty much has to be asked and answered at some point if there is going Robb's an employment relationship. "How much did you make previously" does not.

That's not rephrasing the question. That's a completely different question.
