EU law requiring easier iPhone battery replacement inches closer to enactment

The European Union is moving closer to enacting a law that will not just require smartphones like the iPhone to have easier battery repairs, but it will also mandate how much of a battery must be reclaimable after recycling.

This is one "consumer friendly enhancement" that I hope is exclusive to Europe if it passes.

Why would you want it to be exclusive to Europe instead of having it around the world?

Clunkier devices, complications for wireless charging, cheap plastic backs again. Just seems like a step backwards.
