In short, if sensible regulations requiring "safe" designs for IoT products were to come into force in one locale, it is not only possible, but actually quite likely that they would affect the whole market. If a given Far East manufacturer was required to have safety built into the kernel of its toasters in order to be able to sell said toasters, say, in the United States... or even just in California... would they really go to the trouble to strip out the additional "safety" part of their firmware when manufacturing what is essentially the same product, but destined for other markets? I think not. (A question for the audience: How has FCC regulation of the maximum power output of WiFi routers affected the worldwide market for such devices, over time? I honestly don't know, but I suspect that there has been a good effect, over time, on the whole worldwide market.)
FCC regulation has caused manufactures to do a US version and a rest of the world version. They have over regulated. A simple list for location should be enough with default on unknown which leaves Wifi off until set.
