The EU forced Apple to allow users to replace their own batteries, Apple did so by making the process as troublesome for users as possible.

The EU regulation is not in force yet. I doubt Apple's current solution is in accordance to the new regulations despite the title making it seem as if Apple successfully sidestepped it.
Another user in the thread incorrectly thinks Apple's current port has also circumvented the USB-C port requirement with it's current port.
While regulations can be circumvented (sometimes by design) there is no benefit in a defeatist attitude where Apple (and other corps) are inevitably going to defeat customer protections.
