Apple does not offer an equivalent tool, however as of iOS 13, the system hooks exist for one to be implemented. In particular, there is Christian Selig's Amplosion (same author as the Apollo Reddit client)[1], which works quite well. Costs a few dollars up front, but well worth it.

There is sadly not a version or equivalent on macOS, but Christian has confirmed it is in-development.

P.S. Pairs well with PiPifier to bypass YouTube not allowing picture-in-picture or playing in the background without a subscription, and a good ad blocker.

Why don't people just use a redirect extension and redirect ^https?:\/\/(.)(\/amp\/|\?amp|\?amp=.)$ to https://$1

Because that only works in browsers with extensions, and extensions are yet another third party to trust.

Who doesn't use a browser with extensions? And it's open source. It's not phoning home.
