The rules and mechanics for wild shape, lycanthropes and polymorph are all completely different.
This is one of the only two major problems I've had with 5e since it came out. My other problem is that Druids remain the most vastly disproportionately overpowered class compared to all other classes, as it has been since 3e.

What??? Hardly...that would be the Bard, Swashbuckler, or the Wizard. I never knew anyone to play bards back in the day, now they're everywhere. There are almost no legendary or artifacts for druids, very few druid magic items or weapons at all. Their spell list is ok, animal shapes got weaker in 5e... a CR 2 really? I do like some of the summoning spells but but you're not scaring anyone off the battlefield. I always liked druids but feel they've always been under powered. I played 1e and some 2e, but no 3e or 4e.

If you're an 18th level druid you can cast while in shape changing beast form but if you're also a were bear...can you cast in were bear form?
The limitation of lycanthopic animal form is it can't speak. This is not changed by Beast Spells RAW.
