#4> Whether or not that will be something the European Commission takes issue with, remains to be seen. After all, an EU citizen is an EU citizen even after they leave the EU.
I fail to see how this is in any way relevant. Cannabis is legal in Canada, and Canadians remain Canadian citizens abroad. If they're caught with cannabis in a country where it's illegal, they will be prosecuted for breaking the law. Laws don't follow people around like this.

They don't lose access to the apps. I suspect the phone itself is what disables it, not sending the location to Apple.

Or worse, imagine realizing you forgot one important app when reaching your destination. Uber doesn't exist in the country you went to? You can now only install this country's taxi app through the App Store since your alternative app marketplace lost its ability to install apps...
> However, you must be in the European Union to install alternative app marketplaces and new apps from alternative app marketplaces

Not true, there are many laws that govern activities while you are abroad. Many countries have such laws on the books.
