I think their point was that all manufacturers should be forced to allow that
Well that would be nice of course, but won't ever happen because manufacturers are all over the world and there's no global law or regulation that could enforce that as a requirement.
What I suggested is still the current best option consumers have.
Globally, it's impossible to force a company to do anything. But, with key markets forcing manufactures to comply, most companies decide to go the "well, i'll make it so for everyone then" route, as it can be cheaper in the long run.
