Great, let the bills pass and then they get to publicly blame congress for being "forced to legally comply" instead of jumping the gun and doing an about face on 80% of your reputation built over the last 20+ years.
There is 0 reason to do this before being legally forced to. It's not a gamble with a possible upside somewhere. It's directly shooting yourself in the foot.
