Considering the origins of our legal system are from the United Kingdom, this seems its origins might have been because those of the upper class were actually above the law. But here in the US it definitely allowed racists to target black people.

I don't believe that the executive believes what they're saying, I think they're trying to push a narrative. I think they're worried that Cavill leaving actually is going to cause them problems, namely, less viewers.
Although Cavill hasn't really made that much noise about his issues with the show-runner and writers room just straight up disregarding and disparaging the source material, he's made enough vague comments that the internet has figured out the reason he's left. Now, who knows whether the big fans which will care about this make up enough of the audience or have enough influence to actually cause the show to flounder, but that fact that they're making statements like this is either because they feel it's going to, or the entertainment press is starting to smell blood in the water and are asking questions.
Personally, I'm not even a really big fan of "The Witcher," though I have enjoyed what I've seen of it so far across several mediums. I still haven't played most of the games or read the books, though I intend to eventually. However, I do recognize Cavill's passion for the material, and the fact that he's leaving speaks volumes to me about the quality of the show which was, in my opinion, already flagging. As such, with there being so many other things I still haven't watched/read/played, I don't think I'm even going to watch season 3, especially since that was the cause of his departure.

It's especially nice since SponsorBlock as part of yt-dlp will trim out sections of the video that the community has identified as an ad read.

Thinking about it now, and only because I noticed it being a related recommendation on MyAnimeList, is RideBack, it's racing, which honestly should be it's own genre when it comes to anime. However, like Basquash it had an interesting premise that wasn't wasted or poorly executed, but had a more adult story line.
I've been using AIO Launcher (Google Play link) ever since I found it. I like having my home screen just be all of the information I care about quickly displayed. I believe one of the plugins that it can display would be a to do list, but I think the default one is pretty bare bones. You'd then be able to swipe out the list of all of your apps, which has a variety of sorting options.
I honestly find how stripped down and plain it is to be great, and then coupled with a "My Apps" and "Frequently Used Apps" lists I can have the icons of what I need/use be easily accessible without having to go through the list of all of the apps. As a whole, it seems to be very customizable, I just haven't needed to or bothered messing with it very much. If anything, I think it might have too many things enabled by default, but hidden features don't sell.
