To the contrary, I think settling for a mechanism that (maybe) cleans up the damage after it’s done is defeatist.

This isn’t a case where you have to wait until after the damage is done though. Making a blanket regulation of “you can’t sell a physical good that has its capabilities artificially limited to create price brackets”, or something similar, would work in advance of people trying to sell such products in the US market.

I'm not saying it's good, I'm just saying it is to be expected.
