Yes. The argument will be that because it's expensive to police everyone, lawmakers will simply require anyone selling massmarket goods to do the policing instead.

If you're making a non-compliant device in your garage for you and your friends, the police might come. If you're trying to sell it broadly, the police will come, regardless of the user.

I'm for freedom of choice, but pushing regulations up the manufacturing stack is definitiely more efficient use of my tax money.
