  No because that's not even a consideration. The bar to passing a law like this isn't some greater good market analysis, it's whether it's it literally possible to do because the mandate is for companies to, maybe drastically, change their behavior to stop making trash. Like what even is this, do you like the rampant corporatism where laws can only be passed if it doesn't affect your profits too much uwu? Won't you of those poor corporations flooding the market with garbage?

    I can't imagine how this would be enforced on gadget sold on AliExpress and mailed from China. Currently, lots of gadget violating local safety law are imported this way. This would unequally harm local businesses

      That's always how imports work, you can buy basically anything that's illegal to be sold but not illegal to use in your area by importing it from somewhere else. It's where people are getting flavored tobacco. The logical conclusion that "for the protection of local business we have to allow everything" is a bit absurd. You can still buy it but you can't buy it here is a pretty normal compromise, would you rather it be enforced and you be charged with possession of a Huawei?
