Two thoughts enter my head, its a confusing place on a good day.
We need to be responsible for pollution and damage our planet less, whilst maintaining personal freedom of movement.
This level of state legislation driving more and more complex solutions (Euro7 etc), resulting in more complexity, cost to build, test, maintain etc - less chance of recycling, more chance of block replacement and waste. More cost to the consumer for purchase and whole life cost for service and spares.
You wonder if we have fallen off the path to enlightenment. Is making things better actually making them worse. A bit of Colin Chapman would go a long way?
It does seem to be a benefit of an electric powertrain that the complexity is significantly reduced.
