I wish the EU would just stop getting their grubby hands ibto everything they possibly can

Genuinely curious why you are against pro consumer legislation?

I’m against regulations that get between parties and enforce terms onto voluntary agreement. Why is it the position of government to tell me what products I should and shouldn’t want to buy? If you want shit with removable batteries, cool, go out and make your demands heard. But why should your demands be pushed onto everyone else as “pro-consumer” when it ignores the demands of literally any consumers who have different preferences than you? What about the consumer that doesn’t give a fuck about usb-c or removable batteries? Why should they be made to buy products designed around standards that aren’t important to them?

Products with non-removable batteries are bad for the environment in a number of ways. They hurt even the ones not interested in the product.

OK and?
