Not the same, it's a gradient.
This is even better. Because it's a map you can start it without modifying your game installation.
There were "real" WC3 mods, but it was always cumbersome and worked reliably only in singleplayer.
Gameplay-wise it's a mod obviously.
Everybody does. That's why people use messaging apps.
Just because those companies exist, does not mean that their shitty practices have any imapct on real internet connections. If you as a paying ISP customer want to use a custom port or whatever, it is going to work. So you as a developer don't have any restriction (which you don't know anyway beforehand) if you are developing a solution for a problem.
"Middleboxes" is a hackernews meme that is thrown around because people here work at places who restrict stuff and they can't bother to change that situation but instead complain about it.
The fact that games exist and they use all kind of ports is proof that this is not a problem for normal networks.
I have however experienced that a ISP will write to you because you have a faulty modem (some Huawei device) and asks you to not use it anymore.
