Unity Revenue reporting has always been "self-reported" by users. If they think you're lying and aren't on the right license they send the complkance team to make sure you're giving enough. Unity has no way of knowing installs because as you said it doesn't connect to Unity.
You don't download anything separately, the runtime is included with the game.
The runtime could be updated with a phone home feature to track the install
No because this goes against GDPR. They aren't allowed to have anything identifying users "phoning home" without explicit consent/logging into a launcher.
Couldn't they just add another ToS checkbox to click when installing the game?
TOS is given through the publisher who would be bound by GDPR by all sorts of regulations about storing that stuff.
