Do you see installing a .dmg file (or installing through homebrew) on macOS as a workaround, or what do you mean? I'm not sure I have ever installed a single app from their store, so maybe it's just that such a "workaround" feels normal to me, but scary to others?

Not a lot of options for iOS. There’s Tor browser and Brave that I know of. Brave is surprisingly good, but I don’t do a lot of serious navigation in the phone, and tend to favor private mode so the tracking gets deleted once I close the tab.
The Walled Garden is actually the problem, then.
Sorry, wasn't trying to agitate, just spewing on the Net.
There may be Mac specific browsers that might be a better fit. I don't use a Mac personally but could be worth going through the App store to see what is out there.
Why use the App Store for that? https://librewolf.net/installation/macos/
