I didn't know JudgeEarth had off-world colonies. In what way are they even worse?

They're mostly mining colonies and they pay for being less crowded by being highly policed to prevent independence from the sponsor megacity, and also none of the planets have been terraformed so on one end you have the Moon which is basically just MegaCity One but instead of a wall protecting it from Cursed Earth there's a dome protecting it from No Air; while on the other you have Titan that serves as a forced-labour penal colony where they cut off your nose to put a breathing tube into it.

I think it was in Marvel Zombies, being infected also nullified BB's powers and he's just walking and talking with Kingpin, droning on and on. And eventually Kingpin stops him and says, "Hey, I'm glad that you're super hyped about being able to talk after going your whole life without, really, I am. But for real? Shut the hell up already."

Why doesn't Black Bolt have a phone? Can he not text? Can he not type? Why does he never do that?

There is no phone majestic enough to dignify the King of Inhumans.

Unrelated to this but holy poo poo 90% of Marvel's redesigned costumes from the last five years or so are completely loving awful. Johnny Storm there, the time-lost teenage X-Men, Hydra Cap with that loving laser shield. They're all so so bad.

...Okay, what other actual options are there? The other criticisms, yeah, I get those, but....What's wrong with signing? Seriously?

Thematically Black Bolt never being able to speak makes perfect sense and provides a valuable character visual and beat.

Logically there are like several dozen options for the guy in the modern world NOT counting super science bullshit which the Inhumans have access to.

Watching an actor who's had like three weeks of ASL training try to communicate in sign can be a painful experience.
