What about the London Gold Exchange offering gold on the open market? Then there was the growth in the 1960s of currency speculators looking to make quick profits. What about the 1967 run on sterling and its forced devaluation which in turn undermined the dollar?

The reality is Bretton Woods was a system unfit for purpose from the start. The bankor plan outstriped the US proposals hands down but the Bankor plan did not meet US short term interests so the US rejected it and because most other major countries were in 1944 still at war with wrecked economies, challenge to the US position was impossible. That the Bretton Woods system was so useless can be seen from the fact it did not become fully operational until 1958 and within 3 years was already suffering runs on the dollar. These continued despite the decade long US attempts to maintain 1/35 dollar to gold. The end came in 1971 when Nixon shut the entire system down for good, one of the few things he got right.

When the dollar was no longer "convertible" to gold of course everyone could still buy gold with dollars but you had to pay Market price at the time.

This just meant that Uncle Sam was no longer going to convert dollars straight to gold at a cheap fixed subsidized price. Which meant no more golden welfare handouts to wealthy people.

Serious question: what is an actual example of a golden welfare handout to a rich person? Is it like when the USA government gave billions to the banks to bail them out?

"It would have been fine if foreigners had just accepted dollars". No. It would have been fine if USA decided to control their negative balance of payments, so the dollar don't accumulate itself in foreign central banks and exceed the total amount of gold used for conversion. Foreign countries were right to claim their gold, because it is the safest asset, and increase the monetary power and the ability to revalue or devalue the currency, and because it was a fundamental right of Bretton Woods agreements.
During the gold standard, the British understood it well. The Bank of England controlled the parity between gold and british pounds, and prevented this currency to flee into foreign countries.
