Why do you think you should be making the rules about what happens on somebody else's property, when your rules conflict with those of the owner of that property?
People are always trying to make rules about their property, doesn't mean we all have to like it or accept it. Businesses used to be able to make all kinds of rules that society decided were not acceptable to make, and we over-ruled their rights to do so. No reason it shouldn't be done to keep animals out of human spaces.
Yes. They get over ruled if they're deemed dangerous or discriminatory or if they're unpopular.
Have you seen www.keepdogsoutofpubs.co.uk?
No, me neither. There is no uproar, there is no campaign. There are people who agree with you, sure. But in such a minority that you can't expect the majority to change. There are provisions made for your minority. There are plenty of places that don't allow dogs. There are even more places who say dogs are ok but only in a certain area.
The world does not belong to your preferences or medical conditions, and nor does it belong to mine. You're right, we don't have to like it or accept it. But we do have to live with it and, as individuals, take care of our own needs.

If you need this, campaign for it. I wonder how many letters you've written to the council? I wonder how many landlords you've told 'I won't bring money to your till because you allow dogs in'?
None, I imagine. Because you like to sit on MN and gripe at people who are living well within the rules and who are not in charge of making the rules, about the rules. All of the things you say on here to argue your point will get you nowhere, because all that will happen is some form of 'I disagree' from some strangers. The rules still don't suit you. The change you want is still happening backwards, whilst the rest of us continue to take our dogs to pubs and restaurants.
