#4UK has entirely gone off the deep end. The value they place on free speech is nearly zero.
It may soon not be safe for authors of any privacy or encryption software to visit it or live in it.
The way to fight this is to make and use so much encryption software that no private communications or storage stay unencrypted or non-private.

The UK is just saying the quiet part out loud. If you look at the EARN IT Act in the US or the "Chat Control" proposals in the EU, then the trajectory is identical. The UK is providing the "democratic" precedent that the rest of the Five Eyes will use as leverage. If you think the US isn't eyeing the Online Safety Act as a convenient trial run for overt or covert domestic policy, I’ve got a bridge to sell you.
EDIT: You added a lot more after I replied to your post.

#6It makes a lot of sense. Whoever wants to continue developing "these apps" will do it privately, and sell the service to those who want to keep doing things in hiding. Well done, watchdog!
So again, it just harms the general public, while making it harder to catch criminals.

If there was ever a signal ( edit: happy accident ) that it should be done, it is that the government agency thinks it is a bad idea.

Actually it opens them up to being phished by the government. There have been several high profile cases where because of searching for custom communication services, groups ended up being vulnerable.

#9I wonder how the public in the UK feels about their country quickly devolving into an oversurveilled state.
