So cable bundling channels is also “illegal” according to you? Since I don’t watch sports?

There certainly are jurisdictions where tv providers are legally required to offer channels a la carte.
Not in the US…
Sure, but we're generally talking here about companies that don't operate only in the US. :)

e.g. the CRTC has regulations around a la carte offerings since the past decade: https://crtc.gc.ca/eng/television/program/alacarte.htm

> TV service providers must offer channels both individually and in packages of up to 10 channels.

And not typically channels that can survive independently
