WCAG is technology-agnostic in its principles and criteria. Your points 1 and 2 are already covered with existing criteria. Points 3, 4, 5, 6 go outside of the scope of what WCAG in general mandates.
Correct. WCAG has always driven to be as agnostic as possible to the technologies used on the web.
However, this should not be confused with being technology-comprehensive.
What I mean by that is that:
WCAG assumes things that are not always true when not talking about web content
For example - it assumes there is a user agent.
If you try to apply WCAG to non-web content and non-web software and mobile apps and to ICT in general
