Some part of me feels this is a consequence of an American company owning F1 now and implementing these BS actions that seem to be normal in US sports. I was afraid that this mentality would come to F1 and here we are...

Nah, it's the Brits who say " we apologise for any strong language you may have heard" even if it was only one word because of Ofcom. I can't find any good data because search engines are glorified news machines now not finding anything older, but this has been a thing for public broadcasts for a while.
