Maybe media codec checks then, or a bug that ignores the metrics setting. We can go all day at this until someone finishes the research.
It seems you are unaware. It's not trivial these days.
I know very well what it takes, thats why I said Apple does not likely make this easy. The last time I tried was a few releases ago: disable SIP, write a frida hook to disable pinning, maybe a couple hours the first time you do it. If I were in a pinch I might not even bother with that and instead just pop mediaservicesd into IDA or Hopper and attach to the process as it hangs in littlesnitch. However I did not write a tinfoil essay on a strange observed behavior without actually investigating it, so I will not be doing any of those for you.
If as you say Apple is deliberately making it so difficult to inspect what their OS is doing, maybe we should assume the worst, until proven otherwise.
