You can't actually make them as thin as they are now, regardles what OS they use under the hood, if the battery has to be removable. Yeah, you can still maintain the same specs, but at the cost of being 3, 4mm thicker 🤷.

Meh, laws that benefit some people are often gonna to negatively impact others, like corporations, or people who like their phone's "aesthetic". You can't please everyone. The EU parliament voted for this so I assume people want this. If they don't want it, they could always make another vote to repeal it later on.

I think the EU doesn't actually take into account much of what the people think or say... I think they're just mature enough as polititians and human beings to reaize that, yes, we do have to make a living, one way or another, but this thing is just wrong. We gotta make it right.

I saw an interview once with a german female polititian that switched office and was now in a lower ranking, underpaid and much more demanding office. The journalist asked her why did she want to switch (it was by her choice), to which she replied that she wanted to prove herself as being able to do this as well, and also have this job on her resime, which would be very good, plus she gets to be in a much more demanding environment, which is something she always wanted to see if she could handle well.

It's the logic to how most of these polititians see themselves and the work they do. They see themselves as servants to the people and their jobs just as any other job, they just want to get better at doing different things regarding their qualifications. This is the main diference, I think, not just do something for status or money, but actually progress in your knowledge and skills.
