That makes no sense. First of all the driver is ETSI which the UK is a big part of, secondly even a non EU country (Switzerland) is behind this. Even after Brexit the UK will likely adopt this.

Sure, but it'll also make it easier to revert.

Which doesn’t matter because it wouldn’t. The UK is master of crazy laws like this. Just consider the porn ID verification and more.

Change takes time, it may take 100+ years but I don't see why I would intentionally put even more barriers in front of a hard enough goal.

There's still time to oppose this.

If you think that Brexit will stop this, I hope you are right – but I very much fear you are massively underestimating the UK government's appetite for bad laws and bad process.

I think the argument is that with Brexit it's easier to change laws because you only have to deal with/convince one government instead of 30+ ones.
