Really? I've bought many trees from Boskoop, some bare root, others in
pots, others with burlap root balls. Last time I was in Boskoop there
were plenty of container trees on offer. I've never heard anything
about this ban... I wonder how I've escaped it?

Probably becase the ones you've had have been grown in artificial
compost, not earth.
