The Brussels Effect takes care of a lot of hardware changes for the better, for the world (think USB-C).

* Windows installed in the EEA (ability to disable / change start menu search with Bing, ability to remove Edge, ability to add widget providers)

* iOS with only allowing 3rd party app stores and 3rd party browser engines in the EEA.

* Google only allowing certain things when the phone is in the USA.
