“whole milk” is often skimmed, or occasionally, added to to make it fit in a certain legally defined bandwidth of fat content. It’s not unmodified.
Also, homogenization absolutely changes the texture of the milk. That is in fact part of the point, making sure nobody gets the crappy milk. Some people prefer it, some don’t, it’s a personal taste thing.

True, but generally they ALSO skim the fat right before/during. You don’t have to though

Whole milk doesn’t mean “100% milk fat”. I believe it’s something like 3.25%.

Fat content depends on the cow milked. Jersey cows can have up to 4% fat

That percentage point is the total fat content of the milk, not relative to unmodified milk. No cow puts out pure fat.
