This happens in the US with state regulations already. The federal government creates floors on behavior, the states can add regulations on top of those. The real difference is that the EU and it's member nations actually enforce their regulations and don't let situations happen like Uber/ISPS/AirBnB just ignoring laws until they had enough money/influence to force changes to the regulations
