Like EU seems to be fining some large amounts for some company and they basically the only ones fighting for privacy laws, repairability etc. I am pretty sure if they don't serve EU they can make better bucks by exploiting and doing things they can't under EU . Am i wrong or missing something ? Why don't they just pack bag and leave ?

I really wish those laws were in effect here in the US. IIRC, one of them is that all devices have to come with their own charger. Just got a new phone the other day and the fucker only came with a USB-C to USB-C cable and a USB-A to USB-C adapter thing. No brick. I have no chargers yet that have a USB-C port so I have to charge it through my PS5. And it doesn't fast charge the phone. Until now, every phone I've had came with the charger brick and was fully featured to support every function the phone has (like QC).

You've got that backwards, they specifically dont supply charger plugs with to reduce ewaste.

Plus they tell you on the product page whats in the box, so you could buy a charger in preparation if you need one.
