Why exactly?
So I don't agree with this blame game, but in order to limit the scope of this to EU, they would have had to maintain two different designs, so it just makes sense to change the global design to suit the EU agreement. If it were something like bundling, then that's light enough to maybe change regionally, but it's too much to maintain a whole other kernel architecture.
Happens all the time with regulations. For example my company doesn't have different products to comply with different environmental regulations, they just compose the strictest superset of the international regulations and follow those. California passes a law and it may change the global strategy.
