Regarding the first two, it's not just a matter of an existing relationship, but also consent. As to the latter, this was the effect, and likely will continue to be, until companies decide to implement changes in response to this ruling. Especially larger corporations have been capturing consent and even relying on third-parties to manually dial numbers, because this was the prevailing interpretation until the Supreme Court reintroduced common sense.

I don't see the relevance of consent: you can't consent on behalf of a third party.
The evidentiary question of whether a customer had actually consented to receive calls/texts from a service to which they had subscribed is separate from the question of liability for using automation to call/text a number that turns out not to belong to a customer.
