But i feel that I may loose an important feature of Hyper OS that may not be (or maybe?) present in Lawnchair and that is...the ability to hide apps.

It's a really solid launcher that mimics the default Pixel launcher, but is only available as an APK download and cannot be found on the Play Store.
I've tried posting the website link here, but the mods just deleted my comment for some reason.

2. No, you're stuck with swipe right for misc functions (Google Home, Mi Home, Flashlight) and swipe left for camera.
3. No, I don't recall any Android UI that has such feature.
4. Most, but not all of them can be uninstalled.
5. Yes, but this needs to be done per-app via their own settings. Look out for toggles like "Show ads", "Personalized recommendations", "Receive recommendations", etc. and disable them. For apps you don't want to use, highlight an app on the home screen, go to App info and disable notifications.

1. Does it have that feature that if you take a photo of a text or numbers can i copy them via long press and copy them on to other apps?
2. In the lock screen can you edit the shortcut icons on the bottom part of the screen?
3. Can you hide apps via gestures or swipes?
4. Can i uninstall all Xiaomi-owned apps now?
5. Is there a way to completely stop all ads popping-up in the Xiaomi apps? (as I think ads are totally unnecessary as they are selling these devices online anyway)

Firmware updates (HyperOS logo) will be pushed out until September 2028, but system app updates (GetApps app store) for apps like App Vault and Xiaomi Service Framework will continue on way beyond that until the current Android OS version is no longer supported.

Plus, installing a tempered glass screen protector is a much easier feat. Curved screens require you to use a UV light machine to apply tempered glass protectors, which is a more complicated and more expensive process.
The 2-3 month firmware update policy for Xiaomi devices applies to both security and QOL updates, that you can access in About phone -> "Xiaomi HyperOS" logo.
The QOL updates include system apps like the default launcher, Lock Screen, Notes, Gallery, and of course, Camera.
Most of the time though, you'll only receive security patches, so do keep an eye on the update notes each time you want to update your firmware.
For OS updates, it's usually at Q1 or early Q2 of every new year, which is about 2-6 months after Xiaomi releases their new flagships on November/December the year before. Their higher end devices (with the Xiaomi branding) will usually receive OS updates the earliest, while their budget ones (Redmi and Poco) will be last.

I hated curved screens because as mentioned issues of handling (quite slippery), poor viewing (i don't have a curved TV or laptop so..) and accidental touches. Those are my serious reservations hence i have not bought the Honor 200 or the Edge 50 Fusions.
You did mentioned 2-3 months for Xiaomi update policy. Is that the Hyper OS update? Or the security update? Or quality of life update to cameras, etc.?
I don't do much selfie photos. My main priority is the main and ultrawide if they both have consistent performance (white balance, HDR, contrast, sharpness, low noise levels, etc.); a telephoto would be a "psychological" advantage if one phone has one.

Its software update policy is not as ambiguous as you like to say; every 2-3 months, which isn't great, but it's better to have updates than nothing at all. It's a relatively small price to pay for an otherwise excellent phone.
The Honor 200 is another very solid phone that would surely fit your photography needs, and it comes with a better selfie camera than the 13T. No need to worry about that curved screen if you're careful with handling it. Every phone, no matter how good their Gorilla Glass protection is, will break if they fall from a height.
The Moto Edge 50 Fusion has decent cameras, but doesn't come with a telephoto lens like the Xiaomi 13T and Honor 200. In my opinion, it's the worst choice out of the three because of its lackluster performance, lack of HDR support for video streaming, and is still on Wi-Fi 5.

The phone is taller, wider and heavier than the previous model.
Exynos chips are the worse when it comes to thermals, battery life and performance.
And there are others that are better value + somewhat better specs for the same price.

... moreYou cancelled your oder? Oh, boo-hoo. You know, for a skeptic like you, I think you'd better off with a Samsung instead, specifically the Galaxy A55.
Its cameras won't blow you away, nor does it have the cleanest software experience. But it has excellent build quality, great durability with GG Victus+, IP67, decent battery life, long and frequent software updates, and a micro SD slot.
If somehow, the A55 still isn't good enough for you. Then sorry pal, I can't help you any longer. You've already asked a billion questions already, I can't possibly dedicate my life answering all of your questions until you eventually, at last, get the phone that suits every single one of your needs 😮💨
