The regulation you mention here is certainly outdated NOW, but when it was passed it was a very pragmatic decision.

The anti-bloatware law is more than welcome, because competition keeps failing to reach the desired outcome. Regulations are exactly the right thing to do when competition and market fundamentally fails to reach what constitutes sanity, and converges to a local minimum.

Needless to say, such regulations should certainly be revisited when the root cause vanishes.
