The EU demands that alternative app stores or individual users can do exactly that.
Apple disagrees.
That's precisely why this is back in court.

It being totally without rules or terms is exactly what the EU demanded.
Why would they need to comply with Apple's ToS to publish apps outside of the app store?
If they are sold as "replica swords", and the seller assumes this means "display piece" and the buyer assumes this means "larp-usable sword", the sale is null as no meeting of minds has happened.
Even if it is damaged or broken, you'd be able to return it for the full price, because you did not get what you were promised (at least in countries with legal warranty)
Then separate them into "replica sword" and "basically just a painting to hang in your living room" sections and lock the part that's useless in a display case.
You pay for something once you know what you're getting. If you don't know what you're getting, it can hardly be argued there was ever a meeting of minds. See the "The Peerless" case.
Do you often hear the ringing of switching power supplies and devices when you are in a quiet space?
Even half an hour next to the PA without special ear plugs is enough to permanently harm your hearing.
What you're describing used to be right under X11, but under Wayland the compositor handles all rendering itself. For Gnome that's mutter, which is also maintained by the gnome project.

Seriously, stop being an asshole. Coil whine is a well-documented behaviour that creates a loud, high pitched noise.
As coil whine is at the very limit of what human hearing can accomplish, it doesn't take much until you're unable to hear it. So you're likely too old or went to too many concerts to be able to hear it.

Good ears? the question is when, not where, and the answer is half a lifetime ago.
In some languages, it's actually common to say US-American to clearly specify what is meant.
