"I believe Apple News ads to paid subscribers are an abomination that should be scrapped and rethought."
Totally agree. There are two main ways to get revenue from an app; free with ads, or a paid subscription with no ads. With this, Apple wants both. That's disgustingly greedy.

Arrogant Apple really think they are so all-powerful they can just ignore the request/demand? Perhaps criminal charges and maybe Cook spending some time behind bars as a result would change his tune.

Macs have for a long time been able to answer calls. As I understand it, it's the ability to MAKE calls that's new. In fact, have all the functionality of the phone app on the iPhone.

The phone app is a great idea, but a few years too late for me. I used to spend hours on the phone each week making appointments, with the phone wedged between my shoulder and cheek so I have both hands free for typing. It would have been soooo useful back then. Glad that I don't have to do that anymore; now I just send the occasional email. (Does anyone talk on the phone anymore? Everyone just seems to text nowadays).

They just want us to have to buy two devices.
