How to understand the grammar in this sentence? Here are the passages: "For more, check out Morgan’s work in full on the Internet Archive, which includes lovely passages like this one, marveling at how beavers build dams even though they don’t have to: "As the dam is not an absolute necessity to the beaver for the maintenance of his life, his normal habitation being rather natural ponds and rivers, and burrows in their banks, it is, in itself considered, a remarkable fact that he should have voluntarily transferred himself, by means of dams and ponds of his own construction, from a natural to an artificial mode of life." In the sentence: "it is, in itself considered, a remarkable fact that he should have voluntarily transferred himself,...", why did the author use "should have voluntarily" rather than "should voluntarily"? I mean "should have transferred" means the beaver didn't construct the dam, right? It's weird to me. "it is, in itself condiered", why did the author use "it" , "itself" rather than "he" and "himself" in here?

What does the word "see" mean in this sentece? Here are the passages: "The Cyrcle is circular to fit into smaller and rounded pockets, or it can be clipped or dangled about your person as a wearable if you prefer, or if your outfit simply doesn't have any pockets. If you prefer to carry your phone in your handbag or clutch, Cyr also intends the phone to be less distracting by cutting down on the less important notifications that see you constantly having to fetch your phone out of your bag only to find it's not important. Instead, the device would only alert you to messages or updates from an inner circle. In the case of full-time moms like Cyr and Inagawa, that could be the kids and family, but it's up to you who you'd include." In "by cutting down on the less important notifications that see you constantly having to fetch your phone out of your bag", What does "see" mean in "that see you constantly having to ..."? I know the word "see" has many meanings, what does it mean here?

how to understand " patronising misfires at best to sexist embarrassments at worst"here? Here are the passages: "One of the driving forces behind the design of the Cyrcle was Cyr's frustration with the way her phone didn't serve her needs as well as she'd like. Cyr and Inagawa are both mothers -- their kids were born just five days apart -- and the Cyrcle is designed to address the needs of women both in features and physical design. When I mentioned this aspect of the story to my fellow editors, almost all of them rolled their eyes. We're jaded by the tech industry's attempts to foist upon women products that range from patronising misfires at best to sexist embarrassments at worst." I can find the meanings of "misfire" and "sexist" and "embarrseements" in the dictionary, and I am just not sure what does "patronising misfires at best to sexist embarrassments at worst" mean in the passage? How to understand "misfire" and "sexist embarrrassments" here?
