Mouse acceleration is just plain stupid and there is nothing "realistic" about it. I can do a 360 faster in real life than I can do a 180 in DayZ. Maybe if you are fat and weight 300lbs I could see how you could think that negative acceleration is realistic, but it isn't.

They'd need to implement it into the game engine and that's likely a lot of work. It's not something that you just download into the game and test in an afternoon.

It's only an issue when you don't understand the nature of the game. When you have everything you need and the only threat to you and your group are other players, shooting first is almost always the quickest, safest and easiest way to eliminate the threat. I don't think it is fair to fault some/most players for taking the path of less resistance. Like I said, it is often the only way to guarantee your survival. If you want to go around and try to make friends in a post-zombie apocalypse world be my guess, but don't act surprised when most other players don't share your optimism. Some will want what you have and some will just want to protect what they have at all cost. It is all part of the game.

KoS is not a problem. In fact, it is precisely what makes DayZ so exciting. The fact that you don't know if the next player you run into is going to shoot you or not is what makes the game so tense and thrilling. DayZ would quickly lose it's charm if everyone was friendly all the time or if killing on sight became impractical due to stupid anti-KoS features. Now, I'm not saying that everyone should just be running around shooting everyone in sight, but DayZ is a survival game and how you choose to interact with other players is entirely up to you. You only have one life and sometimes shooting first is the only way to guarantee your survival.
