It might be similar to how credit report agencies have to provide the reports for free under GDPR, but not before trying to make you pay twenty different ways.

This itself is illegal. It must be simple and straightforward. EU laws broadly do not tolerate the rules lawyering popular in the US, companies know what the intent is and playing games will not work out in their favor.

Yet none of this is enforced, otherwise all the (non-compliant) obnoxious cookie consent popups would disappear overnight.

Same with the DMA - Apple is blatantly acting in bad faith and contempt of the regulations and have yet to see a fine.

a practice which was found to illigal in court cases
