The death spiral presumes that every synth knows that every other synth correctly heard the external statement about color. It would not be logical for a synth to make such an assumptIon, and they cannot query each other about the content of the statement or propogate that knowledge, because they cannot talk about color.

More drama. more social commentary and less...pew pew and tinfoil bikinis.

It seems that the App Store and other walled garden restrictions are what the suit is about. The posted article is vague and confusing: first talking about an “illegal monopoly in smartphones” but then referring to the “walled garden”, etc.
This article notes that
The heart of the lawsuit centers around claims that Apple stopped smaller companies from accessing the hardware and software in its iPhones, which led to fewer options for customers.
referring to hardware monopoly power may be some legalese needed to meet the requirements to file an antitrust suit, or to head off defense arguments by making a distinction between Apple and other instances of walled gardens, like game consoles.
