Flight is the best.
If you going during peak season, can consider Koh Lipe (Thailand).
you can ferry from penang to langkawi and vice versa. ticket can be purchased online. it has morning and afternoon schedule daily. for more frequencies, you may consider kuala kedah or kuala perlis.
I know that, I did a research on it and flight is the fastest.
Hotel. Quite fun to visit the upside down museum.

Malaysia is not alone, Taiwan and other countries also the same.

I don't see a issue to this. In fact, if countries practise such rules, it is good for that country to take care of her citizens first. Like in Taiwan, the Taiwanese get better hotel rates than the foreigners.
If you think too ex for you then don't visit penang hill and etopia. There are still low entrance fee and free one.

Is Grab the preferred way to zip around in Penang now? Previously, I just take the cabs, with their non-metered fares. 
How does one pay for the Grab rides? Cash? I've only ever used Uber in the UK. Those rides were charged to my credit card.

quite easy to get, although they may take some time to reach you.
