If there was no ongoing threat of legislation in the States you wouldn't see battery replacement being made easier but you'd absolutely still be seeing independent repair shops ordering batteries and them being seized at the border as counterfeit goods even if they came from the same factory as Apple got the batteries.

I feel like you don't really follow right to repair very closely at all.

Additionally, if you legislate they have one model follow these sorts of regulations you'll have really garbage quality phones that follow the regulations that are produced in as small of a quantity as the law allows. It'd be completely worthless legislation that would in fact increase e-waste instead of decrease it.
I have no idea what you're talking about. These things have been normal and cheap since before the pandemic in the US. Battery tech has gotten cheaper without legislation.

Who is seizing batteries in the US?
