You're seriously arguing that it's absurd for customers to have "absolute control" over all software?

No EU regulation could regulate away all "moral" concerns over software. More specifically, they EU could regulate, but the overwhelming majority of software companies would either strip significant features out for EU customers, or exit the market altogether.

Lol, they keep threatening that but they still like the money of the europeans.

The EU hasn't threatened granting consumers "absolute control" over all software.

I'd vote for a party that said the only legal license is AGPL :D
