I hate Wi-Fi landing pages, you hate Wi-Fi landing pages, and guess what? The firewall also hates landing pages. (media.witter.cz)

Not quite. Even if copyright didn't exist, they still would block porn etc. I even encountered a Wi-Fi network where YouTube videos worked except those with content warnings (such as mentions of self-harm). I wonder how that can be done despite HTTPS - maybe the questionable videos have a different domain? I should have investigated the issue more but NewPipe made it seem like the video had been taken down so I just assumed that was the case. (It was at a train station in southern Bavaria, most likely Wangen im Allgäu. I was there only once.)

Yep, should be a different domain. NextDNS can also enforce SafeSearch:

Filter explicit results on all major search engines, including images and videos. This will also block access to search engines not supporting this feature.

Modern firewalls are man-in-the-middle attacks.

Captive portals are effectively MitM but that's why they only work on HTTP (notice the crossed-out lock icon).
