The reason: Apple will charge a 27% fee to developers who want to use the link entitlement program — and when combined with payment processing fees, the total is even more than the 30% the App Store has taken for itself for years, the judge was told at the hearing in Oakland, California.

I bought one last year, and even though I was hesitant because of its age, it can handle all the content I throw at it (4k 10 bit hdr h265, etc). As for the the ads, I solved that by installing a third party launcher.

On a only slightly related note: When I worked on a helpdesk many years ago, at the end of my shift at night, I'd use that same technique to call my own cellphone, as well as my girlfriend's, connect the two, and have hour long conversations for free.

Are you saying Google is herding their users to the new product of their competitors? I honestly don't understand what point you're trying to make here.

Also requires the company to be US-based, so doesn't apply here. Well, not yet, that's the whole point of forcing them to sell or be banned.
