This is from 2020. You absolutely can use Little Snitch or a similar firewall to block this traffic.

Little Snitch won’t work because they use the Apple-blessed content filter which apparently doesn’t allow blocking this.
Pointing it to localhost in the hosts file does work, as indicated in that article.
