At best they will code the restrictions in for users in vietnam.

At worst they’ll block it in the region.

It just comes down to what costs more for them. This won’t improve things in other regions.

    Not yet anyway, but it might have a ripple effect on other countries doing the same.

    Just like EU consumer laws sometimes gets adopted by other countries a few years later.

    The EU consumer laws you see get wider adoption tend to have copycat versions show up in other regions, usually too many regions to make it worth splitting the codebase.

    GDPR is still basically just EU & California (with it's specific version that overlaps substantially.) The rest of us are boned.

    Apple's side loading is just EU as far as I know.

    I know some things have been widespread like USB-C, but those are few and far between... and I still buy devices with microusb and other dumb connectors because of course people are still selling them in brand new products years after the EU ban.

    Apple's sideloading is somewhere between a ridiculously off the mark compromise they've lobbied for and malicious noncompliance.

    Brazil and Japan is adopting the "side loading", so it is happening, but slowly.

    There's also a few examples of this, that we dont hear about in the media as much, but there's some food quality and plastic standards that spreads.

    I also remember something about airplanes and your rights when flights are delayed and stuff, but I cant recall it specifically.
