My Android phone prevents me from taking screenshots if an app author doesn't want me to.

My Android phone prevents me from recording phone calls at the request of my carrier, even though it's totally legal for me to do so in my jurisdiction.

I'm not loving where this is all going.

The first part also happens on desktop thanks to DRM, unfortunately. Like on Android, it can be worked around, but it's a massive pain to do so.

I'm curious about the second part, though. How do carriers influence the call recording feature on your phone? Is it because you run a carrier ROM or is there some kind of integration with the mobile network/SIM card that I'm not aware of?

See https://source.android.com/docs/core/connect/uicc. UICC is the software component of a SIM card.
