No doubt, Apple is more opinionated when it comes to UI/UX than others — for better or worse. It's a trade-off.

Fwiw, Apple does provide more control over the display tucked away under Settings/System Preferences => Accessibility (lots of goodies there, actually).

Not clear if you knew that and still found that too limiting, but perhaps others will have fun poking around in there.

At least on the Mac, I can almost always find a third-party tool that can accomplish anything Apple didn't expose.

I largely agree they need to reduce their App Store fees — it is damaging their goodwill for relatively limited benefit, but more-so it's attracting government scrutiny that will likely lead to worse outcomes for Apple and its users if they don't relent.
