Why are they asking for permission to use something in the public domain?
Because there is a reasonable suspicion that Disney will sue them for some reason, public domain or not, and they want to prevent that.
Now companies like Apple are getting their knickers in a knot because they cant spy and sell data (whilst simultaneously trying to tell you they're not doing it) so they want to create a lot of hate against GDPR in the hopes that it'll prevent similar laws in other countries. They know the fight is lost in Europe, they're just hoping that they can stave it off in other parts of the world.
In your case, calling you a hater seems to be the most rational approach. You don't have any argument that isn't just based on insane paranoia, so there is nothing to refute.
Why do you assume that this Ãoeber iPad with an iPhone CPU would run macOS? Seems to me if they use an iPhone CPU you'll get an iPhone OS (iOS)...
Oh my god, you can't be that stupid. The CPUs are identical except the ones that go into iPhones tend to have fewer cores. They are all Apple Silicon chips, based on ARM with Apple extensions, and they are identical except for the number of cores.
Apple would have to merge iOS and Mac OS for you to be able to run the apps back and forth. I don't think software developers would want that either because they're going to want to sell you the software twice too if they can.
Either merge (which is hard work) or keep completely apart. But if the iPhone is the only thing with a CPU, making it display things on an external screen will be hard.
