I believe they hit http://captive.apple.com now (and that's what I use).
Whenever I access a public Wi-Fi with login / captive portal, and the portal doesn’t show up immediately, I enter captive.apple.com in Safari to trigger it! Works every time (iPhone)

The pursuit of profit, purely for the sake of profit and no other goal, is malicious.
What? No it isn't, and profit has nothing to do with why this particular decision by Microsoft was.
Certain powers in this world want there to be less regulation for the moneymakers in this world. Centralized wealth has been a cancer on humanity for millennia, and we're nowhere near putting the proper amount of shackles on capitalism.

Does workstation edition have the same dumb properties as LTSC such as "Visual Studio won't install because reasons" or any other restrictions?
Not that I know of. But it won't install on "normal" PCs, it requires "workstation-level" CPUs. If you install it on a regular PC, it will just revert to regular win 11 pro. I don't know if this changed with the 22h2 upgrade, but it's the behavior I'd noticed before.

It's probably because of the hotspot with the same SSID. You should be able to set wifi network priority so "home network" is first but if not available it automatically goes to "phone network".
