It's national law, not EU law, that prevents circumvention of digital barriers.

These laws are bing forced on European countries by large trade agreements with the US that contain them among hundreds of details. Actually some activists hope that we can get rid of them now that Trump is breaking these agreements anyway.

Question is, do the lawmakers understand these laws to a sufficient degree.

No force of law but market falsification. The EU kneels for the largest companies of the world. Having a local computer or free operating system for it would hurt them for losing forced advertising targets. It will stay getting rejected for being unsafe or a privacy threat, as well as the old piracy. It starts with civil services and telecom not working on a unwanted system. That's already fatal for anything that's trying to compete.

This sounds like "I'll move to Canada if Trump wins."

No you f won't.

Kind of obscene places where the order in which you put your socks on is legislated claiming to be the free world. But there it is. One day the free world might really go down, and I suppose you will finally have the complete servility you crave. I wonder if you would like it as much as you think.

Just for the record, I moved to Belize because Trump won. And no, I am not going to get involved in the discussion of the politics of it. I just wanted to point out that some of us actually do what we say we are going to do.
