Now require manufacturers to provide like 5 years of OS updates so devices aren't insecure bricks once you get updates.

OR disallow banking apps from blocking custom ROMs/root, so you can just install your own updates ROM without losing updates.

Five years OS upgrades. I was mistaken though it's not law yet, just a finished commission proposal, scroll down to the end and look at the annex.

Oh wait that's actually the same thing that's promising replaceable batteries.
