Are you talking to yourself? Do you remember the Equal Rights Amendment? It failed to be ratified. However, subsequent Court decisions have pretty much made it the law of the land. One case at a time. Find the term gay marriage in the constitution. Law of the land. Try to pass an amendment to enshrine that. DOA.
Exactly. Some aims that never gained traction as proposed constitutional amendments have been achieved by other means. That aren't amendments.
It is nice to go to a party by way of the front door. However, going by the back door, or the side door still gets you into the party.
Again, you're exactly right: different doors. One of them is an amendment. The others aren't.
