Companies will just make EU specific devices and continue to fuck over the rest of us

    This would require them to sacrifice significant economies of scale. With past EU legislation like this what has mostly happened is most devices are pretty much the same for the entire world, but some region-specific devices won't be compliant because they were never intended for sale in the EU in the first place
