I don't think it has anything at all to do with the carriers. It has to do with advertising companies and data collection companies. They want the user data, location data, contacts, web history, etc. And I do not think they care who makes the phone, just what software is running on that phone and what data can be gleaned from it. Any attempt by the manufacturer or the carrier to limit what data can be collected is being subverted with this legislation.

At the end of the day, the EU is telling its citizens that they have no right to privacy, and any attempt to secure that right will be legislated away.
