Because Spopovitch was a weakling, and Vegeta had already gained immense power through his extreme training after years. Even Babidi said that he drew Vegeta's dormant power beyond its limits.

Like I said, multiple limits. The Super Sacred Water was supposed to bring out all of Goku's dormant power, yet it didn't.

You can disagree if you want with that, and disregard it if you want, but don't say that the guides disregarded it because it wasn't mentioned. It wasn't mentioned in SEG, because there wasn't any place to mention it at all. We don't have a paragraph about Super Saiyan 3 like in D7, we only have a sentence. Combining the D7 & SEG statements, Super Saiyan 3 brings out the dormant power of the Saiyan to its utmost limits, which is 400 times greater than his base power. It also implies that the dormant power of the warrior develops as he trains.
And no, SS3 Gohan wouldn't always be stronger than Goku, since he wasn't always stronger than Goku when he was angry.

Goku is considered a Low-Class, Nappa an Elite, Vegeta a Super Elite, and Gohan a super-Saiyan. Gohan sounds more special.

They are more like Super versions of Goku and Vegeta. They don't really have massive dormant power as they already make quicker gains than full bloods and started off at a much higher level. This was basically the trade off.
That's your opinion.

Because Goku & Vegeta wouldn't want such a massive boost from such a cheap way. Goku & Vegeta used the Super Sacred Water & Babidi to power them up because it was an emergency for both (Goku had to kill Daimao, and Vegeta wouldn't meet Goku again). Same for Super Saiyan God. Plus, what Malik said.

Because he was jealous that Goku tried it and he didn't. Do you really expect Vegeta crying from joy once he kicks SS3 Goku's ass in Super Saiyan God or through the Ultimate power-up? Same for Goku.
I think that the reason we disagree is because we have different interpretations of dormant/hidden power/potential. Here is mine:
Dormant power is a power that everyone has. Through training, the fighter gains more & more power from his dormant power, but his dormant power also increases through ki training, along with his battle power. So, without ki training, the dormant power will eventually run out.
Most Earthlings don't have very big dormant power (like Chaozu & Muten Roshi), while some of them have extraordinary big amounts (like Kuririn, Tenshinhan, and Yamcha).
Namekian Warriors have more dormant power than the Earthlings, with their dormant power increasing by many times if they merge with someone else, which grants them extraordinary gains through training.
Saiyans have even more dormant power (described by Freeza & Beers as bottomless), with Earthling/Saiyan Halflings having even more dormant power, especially Gohan, who has even more amounts available to use through his rage. The Saiyans have some extra amounts of dormant power, usable only through their transformations
(Oozaru, Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan 2, Super Saiyan 3, Golden Oozaru, and Super Saiyan 4), and their near-death power-ups
(the transformation dormant power grows with the base battle power, while the near-death power-up dormant power is limited). The more transformations they have achieved, and the stronger they are, the more power they will gain through magical sources that draw out dormant power
(so, Ultimate Gohan would be stronger if he could turn Super Saiyan 3, and even stronger if he could turn Super Saiyan 4).
