Maybe EU will make a legislation about headphone batteries too…

They should focus on electric cars. Replacing tiny batteries in thin phones or thinner headphones is silly to legislate compared to gigantic batteries in big cars. The rest of the car could easily have a 20 year life with no internal combustion engine, but most get scrapped after 6-8 years.

If they want to pretend that they’re saving the planet with legislation, go for the real volume.

User replaceable batteries in earbuds would make them thicker and heavier - exactly what consumers say they don’t want.

Electric Cars have replaceable batteries? No one’s throwing away that much money in precious metals. Recycling companies are spinning up to handle EV batteries as they start to fail, which they haven’t in large numbers yet.
