It’s not a law to enforce. Proclamations by the Church must be interpreted in the context of subsequent refinements to doctrine (by pope, councils, sv, etc) over the years and in this case centuries. Unam is not the only thing ever written. Example is papal infallibility, not clarified until the 19th century at Vatican One.

Saw what???

I cannot tell you how many times RCs have used this “proclamation” to tell Christians they have to be Roman Catholic.

What Roman Catholicism calls a "development of doctrine". In other words, it was not "handed down" by the Apostles and is not part of "tradition."

This is what happens when you start getting away from Scripture and allow "tradition" to be equal to, or in some cases, superior to Scripture.
