Now, in addition to some carriers in Europe, it appears that
T-Mobile/Sprint in the United States is also blocking iCloud Private
Relay access when connected to cellular data.

Not being an Apple user, I gotta ask, does iCloud Private Relay do
anything that a VPN doesn't? My VPN vendor has an apps for Android and
iOS, as well as most desktop OS and the popular web browsers. This
must be pretty standard, I checked a few of the reputable ones (Nord,
PIA, Express, Mullvad) and they all did. Only issue is, they're not
free and included on the phone.

I believe many VPNs don't necessarily force DNS requests all over the
tunnel, and still uses the local DNS resolvers as defined by the
local setup (at least a few VPN services I have used have acted this
way, I can't say definitively what every service does).
The question we need to talk about is *WHY* U.S. citizens don't have
anything but a small fraction of the privacy protectdions European
cellular users enjoy. *THAT* is worth talking about.
