Except in general aviation, where lead free alternatives are just coming out of the approval pipeline.

You literally proved Forge36's point. Ethanol is the replacement for lead in gasoline.

Unleaded gasoline was unleaded long before ethanol was added. So, no, I didn't prove his point.

The history of ethanol in gas is quiet old.

Per https://www.eia.gov/kids/history-of-energy/timelines/ethanol...

It looks like it usage of ethanol as an additive started increasing around the same time lead was being phased out.
