I'm not sure it makes sense to blame legislators for loopholes. Bugs exist all the time in a variety of products. And few have to withstand the scrutiny of trillion dollar companies paying experts to pour over every aspect to find them.

I wonder if Apple restricting this to Netherlands only complies with the EU Digital Single Market: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Single_Market
