Everything is a resource, but not everything can implement HTTP
methods? I would assume LDPR is an information resource, a subset of
RDF resources. Real-world resources (e.g. persons) can be described by
RDF, but can they be Linked Data?

So I think ldp:Resource should be a more like foaf:Document than rdfs:Resource.

Why wouldn't RDFS/OWL definition be useful? There is an ldp: namespace
and seems like there is an ontology also, why shouldn't it include a
definition of ldp:Resource alongside of ldp:Container, ldp:Page etc.?
And if LDPRs and non-LDPRs are disjoint, why not make it explicit as
well?
