Given that these tech companies are not going to make devices with a user replaceable battery, the only way to get such is for the government to step in. If it's done correctly, it could be a good thing. However, one thing that could happen is these tech companies just stop selling in Washington state. But if other states pick this up, then these devices will have to be redesigned.
