Whoa, that's super strong move. I 100% support it. Sadly, I'm not in EU. Faust bless EU, they have really big potatoes.
I mean first you have to get politicians to understand what the hell a “driver” is, and no, Gretchen, it’s not Uber.
Lucky for you they would be super unlikely to change the hardware so much that you wouldn't benefit from "European" drivers in another region.
They might do some geoblock fuckery, eg. the drivers would only work with the EU-market devices
If the specifications are available then drivers can be written by anyone without geoblocking.
I mean I can't vote it into existence
