While I don't doubt they want to do that, do you really think they have that much sway with EU regulators? I know next to nothing about EU mobile phone carriers, or how many there even are, so I don't know how big and powerful they are outside of any given country.
To me the solution is simple, get the phone directly from the manufacture unlocked, rather than from the carrier. I already do this, for the freedom it provides.
