A requirement to provide security and OS updates for 3-5 years affects EU-based companies just as it affects non-EU companies, so I don't see your point. Many phones sold by both EU and non-EU manufacturers don't meet this requirement. These new rules apply equally to all manufacturers, and would not give a special advantage to EU-based ones. Any government has the authority to regulate commerce in its own jurisdiction, and nobody is proposing price caps for anything. If you are a phone manufacturer that steadfastly refuses to provide security and OS updates for 3-5 years for any of your phones, then you are free to not sell them in the EU.
