This one:
"Right for EU citizens to leave the UK for long periods will be restricted post-Brexit."

The article says that if you're a 'settled citizen', if you leave for two years you may be restricted in coming back. That seems so bonkers, perhaps because I'm used to EU citizenship / freedoms.

Is that normal in other countries (outside the EU). If I'm an expat / citizen in Australia, would I face the same restriction?

I think that's pretty common. Basically you don't get unlimited rights to pick and choose. If you want to be there for the long haul then you have to be there for the long haul.

But people that lived here for years and had to be out of the country for work for 2 years still got residence denied.

It all depends how "commitment" is defined legally and applied.
