#1 If I remember correctly, the Marines had a Ranger outfit at the beginning of WWII in the Pacific, but disbanded it because they believe that all their troups are elite. This is just a continuation of that line of thought.
Besides, do people ever quit empire building?

#3 The Marines are now deciding to be part of SOCOM because they see the majority of the GWOT supplementals heading to SOCOM. Once they see how much Operational funding they will have access to they will get over their "all Marines are special" attitudes and realize special ops Marines will bring high dollar training and equipment back to the corp. A bonus for the Corps. they need to look across the services and check the benifits derived from SOCOM.
