Did they ban AI from using commas in post subjects?

Look, does it really matter whether they do or not? If a company is morally bankrupt enough to conduct business like this in the first place, it's a certainty they'll just find some other novel way to be flaming assholes.
If you don't want to get cheated, stop doing business with thieves and liars.

That's just evil.
Next they're going to look into your calendar to see if you're running late.No, next they're going to reveal they've been mining your calendar data this whole time after a data breach forces them to admit it.

The article doesn't say they do this. It says: "In theory, a service could charge you more if you're on a vacation in a foreign country, instead of your hometown, because they know you would be willing to pay more. It would be the same if your phone's battery is low and you're trying to get home."
A really bad headline, but not surprising I guess.

Did they ban AI from using proper titling case?
The answer is no, and this may be one way in which AI should be allowed to displace humans Who Write Titles By Capitalising Every Word Even The Ones Which Should Not Be.

Laws only apply to people who have under $10m.

Personally, I’d rather have a robust and up-to-date set of consumer protections rather than leaving everything up to ‘buyer beware’.

That would be ideal of course, but this is the US we're talking about, so it seems unlikely that you'll have them.

Easy! I haven't gone out for coffee for a couple of years now, so I should definitely....
Checks bank account

They should just lie down and give up then I guess?
Just transfer every cent they own into the hands of the Trumps/Musks/Cooks/Zuckerbergs/Bezos/Pichais of the world and get it over with, why bother trying?

Because they pay apple? I'd imagine that's obvious. It's more useful metrics for the developer. I would be surprised if they didn't tier the information access about users behind closed doors.
Android's not perfect, but at least permissions can be set per app, you can root your device, or install GrapheneOS or Lineage to bypass this crap entirely.
some permissions can be set per app. I'm not sure battery level is one of those and I have apps (i.e. homeassistant) which can read thatwithout me actually having explicitly allowed it. Usually it's stuff one pictures/files, location, camera or health data that are restricted

I'll be damned if I'm cutting back on avocado toast
