I know you are analysing the reason for fresh cheeses being an OWL rung 2 addition rather than an induction allowed food and have formed your own opinion on whether they can be utilised by you on induction, but it still says in DANDR 2002 which is the book we follow here on ADBB that fresh cheeses are not allowed on induction - only aged cheeses (hard and soft), tofu (Dr Atkins knew it as being called soy cheese) and cream cheese.
As far as I know the reason for not having ricotta and other fresh cheeses on induction is the way they are made, rather than any added ingredients.
You could substitute cream cheese for most ricotta-included recipes I would have thought. (Never tried it myself as I don't like the taste of ricotta or cottage cheese)
