It is a myth that decarboxylation takes place naturally, and Cannabis is not a "container" of THC.

That is simply untrue. Decarboxylation also occurs at room temperature, but the reaction takes place at a much lower rate. Any tested sample of dried cannabis flower will contain the cannabinoid acids and smaller amounts of the decarboxylated cannabinoids. For a ready proof that you can find and choose yourself, look at the lab test results of any online hemp store—any cannabis flower invariably contains decarboxylated cannabinoids (because that's how physics works... relatively unstable chemical groups are prone to decomposition).

You are equating dried plant material to Cannabis flower. Cannabis flower is wet-weight by default...not dried. Decarboxylation is Temperature, Humidity and Light effected.

Technically...Marijuana is Cannabis' low-thc cousin.

I grow a new batch every 4 months or so and can vouch that fresh buds are more intense but less calming. After several months stored properly it just doesn't do it for me and it all gets turned into joints for outings.
