Why do you care about ISPs that much? It's the exactly same thing as an outcome, just different concerns and methods.

Also, when you don't do anything illegal in USA just take away your company either by forcing you to sell it or forcing American companies not doing business with you.

TikTok was removed from Apple AppStore forcefully, then reinstated and forcefully sold.

Why ISP blocking is considered low morale but seizing your stuff high morale endeavor?

There's positives and negatives to each. For government domain seizure, there's due process involved but working around it is harder (the service provider either has to acquire a new proper domain or onion domain, then disseminate it to the audience somehow). For ISP level blocking there's limited due process (at least in the cited case of LaLiga seemingly just issuing a complaint to the ISP), but the audience can easily work around with it with a VPN or sometimes just an alternate DNS server.

> not Spain as the government but LaLiga(a sports organization) abused its given powers and apparently demanded that ISPs block the site.

Why do you keep arguing a point you were wrong about
