Question About Apparent Censorship

This article is saying that 45% of Eth validators are complying with US sanctions. This is concerning, because it's so soon after the merge, and it's very much something that people said could happen.

Someone here said that the function of block proposing / construction was going to be separated out from validation, in such a way that the validator can't know in advance which transactions are included. How far away is that from being rolled out?

Are the lead devs talking about this or concerned about it? I really want to like Eth. It seems like it's come such a long way over the years, but this kind of censorship seems like a big deal, and something that could be come a big problem in the not so distant future.
