Apple has had its software update for iPhone 12 devices in France approved by regulators, after the company threatened to suspend sales of the phones...
It was never going to cause cancer anyway. The limits in France are just really low. Phone radiation is non-ionising, which at the levels it emits is harmless, even the one that breached France’s limits.
They could have found a fault in power delivery, which could be the issue. They may just be correcting it. You can guarantee there will be back to back tests done to show any difference, so time will tell.
There’s an option to disable the underclocking in the battery section. Here’s an Apple Support article on it. It’s under the “Performance management turned off” heading. You could have the battery serviced.
I’m impressed your 12 has gone that far already, my XS hasn’t gone that far and is still on the original battery.
Does this mean my already slower iPhone 12 (due to battery age) will become even slower? Better than cancer, I suppose.

No, cpu and antenna power aren’t the same thing.
No this will likely limit the max antenna range and give you worse radio reception, but will make no difference to the CPU that runs the UI and apps
Potentially longer battery life, though :)
