for the same reason there is 100% of jack shit the USA and their FCC can do about what radio equipment I operate; as its approved by CEPT/ETSI and I am licensed by Ofcom (UK Communications Ministry) to use it and as I live in a coastal area under a major flight path I am not going to do anything that could cause inteference to the safety critical comms widely used in this area.
Things may be different elsewhere but in Europe there is much less regulation if anything of communications services and equipment compared to the 1980s.
I can remember when you had get a license to install a telephone exchange and for any sort of wireless equipment and you had to fill in a really long form; pay the Ministry lots of money and wait several months. Today a lot of stuff (including nearly all WLAN equipment which can of course use any amount of crypto) no longer requires this license; and if you do need one its only £75 for 5 years. I was surprised Ofcom would issue me a Suppliers License for radio equipment including repeaters, stronger pager transmitters and even ships radios although I suspect they did check my Linked In to be sure I knew one end of an antenna from the other and how to avoid causing interference.
What is happening is USA is lagging behind the world because of their political squabbles and lawyers. I was reading an ETSI newsletter and there are apparently 60 member countries in ETSI; double the amount of countries geographically in Europe if you include Norway and Switzerland who are European but not EU countries. Malaysia and Singapore now follow ETSI/CEPT tech standards; I’ve noticed much equipment from China follows these standards before they go for the USA market.
