I am once again happy that the EU is fighting practices like these via legislation.
Some outcomes can be annoying, but the net result is still positive, for the consumers and their data privacy at least.

  I'd classify mandatory encryption backdoors as an industry crisis rather than an annoyance.

    When has the EU mandated encryption backdoors?

    They keep trying it via e.g. chat control

    Exactly right.
    Chat control is merely their newest attempt at this, carefully navigating around the reasons it was opposed last year.
    They keep trying to legislate encryption backdoors by any means, and once they manage to get their foot into the door every other country will use that as a precedent to also mandate it.
