What does this mean for DIY hardware? For one I like my ESP32 and Arduino hardware because I can do whatever the heck I want with it. Will I be limited in choices if a bill/regulation is passed so as to make it restrictive on buying IoT hardware that’s not compliant with “security features “?

This will be a completely optional program. And the proposal is that even for participants of the program, they just have to disclose the update period, whatever it may be (could be zero-length).
