The point of the EU's tech laws is to find American companies violating them so they can charge them big fines. They're not going to be satisfied, they just want to fine them. This is called protectionism.

(This is similar to how Americans have a religious belief that "regulations are written in blood" and so think it's immoral to ever undo any safety regulation; as a result their building code bans anything anyone has ever thought was bad with not a moment spared for cost-benefit analysis.)
