You can be pretty sure that Apple lobbied hard to leave these holes. The legislators are happy they can tell their voters they finally did something and that they found a compromise.

It's a bit on us, the public, to not accept those alibi-type compromises.

I think Apple does not hold much sway over lawmakers here in the Netherlands. US tech companies are not very popular in general, and politicians are not corrupt for the most part. Many laws originate in Brussels.

Incompetence/cluelessness and lack of resources around tech is the bigger problem here.
