Does it really matter this early?

What I expect from this is rather that at least a few producers get more repair friendly so I as consumer have the choice again. (Writing this on my first phone without easily changeable battery, I've tried for very long)

So I as my families tech guru can give the right signals to my family and in a few years we see the actual change happen. Slowly but steadily

It does matter, yes. Because it won’t lead to the outcome you want until someone actually gets a painful fine.

They will get fined, but it doesn't happen within just a few weeks.

		If it does not happen quickly, then the result might end up similar to data privacy topics. If you can afford to keep fines in litigation/appeals/formal-defect limbo for a sufficient number of years, you can grow out of even once-threatening fines and delay compliance until the law that you finally bow down to is so old that its signs of old age will in the meantime become popular arguments for undermining or retracting it.
