Typically a major manufacturer like Apple or Samsung isn't going to to want to spend the kind of money on different factories creating the same phone for different markets which is what they'd have to basically do if they actually changed the design between markets.

If a market the size of the EU mandates this? It's highly likely to affect design world wide.

You don't need a different factory to make two versions of a product. You can just have two production lines in the same site. Heck, depending on the design, the final difference between the lines might just mean one extra station for one of the versions.
