You're knew here so I'll tell you what most of us already know. When dealing with rule situations, opinions mean very little to those of us who are students of the game. Can you reference a rule that backs up your stand that "there are certain situations where players are not entitled to the position they are in?" Because I can, and will, give your reasons why several of the situations you present are not fouls on the defender.

4-34.37 incidental contact
art 3. contact thay does not hinder the opponent from participating in normal defensive or offensive movements shall be incidental.
this play hinders a rebounders natural movement
art 6. when a player approaches an opponent from behind or a position from which the player has no reasonable chance to play the ball without making contact with the opponent, the responsibilty for the contact will be of that player in the unfavorable position.
the player on the floor has no chance to play the ball and he is in unfavorable positioning.

and to ref. unnatural positioning.

4-33.34 handsand arms, use of
art 5. it shall be illegal to extend ones arms fully or partially other than vertically so that the freedom of movementof an opponent is hindered when contact with the extended arms occurs.
art 6. it shall be illegal to extend ones elbows when ones
c. when ones arms are horizontal to the playing court.
note: these illegal positions are most commonly used rebounding, screening, or in the various aspects of play.

these are all solid references to support the foul being called.
