Encryption comes to mind. That was the UK I think, but the EU isn't far behind.

That was the UK because it was Apple complying with a specific UK law that says the government must be able to access everyone's phones at all times.

The more common one is GDPR. Things like AI features come to Europe late, or don't come at all, because it's illegal to just record everyone all the time and transmit that information back to the mothership, which is what the feature does.
