Only a decade? I recall legal action surrounding this shit in the '90s.

That was for tv and also maybe radio? Technically, this is different. Also, I don’t know of any parodies of tv broadcasts with malicious audio ads.

I remember them passing such laws and yet commercials on broadcast TV remain loud as fuck

That's because no one watches broadcast tv anymore.

This is literally the same thing. Some small technical details regarding the delivery method are wholly immaterial, and any arguments asserting that it is are fully disingenuous.
