I think they're already complying. Tri-tip bits are already bought easily and affordably on Amazon. Same with suction cups, picks and tweezers. Literally $30 or less to get all of the above in one nifty carrying case. If you have suction cups then you can break the screen seal without using heat and let's be honest, hair dryers are perfectly adequate for these repairs. It's literally what I use for friends and family repairs that I do at home rather than in my workshop.
I think it's a step in the right direction but not even remotely strong enough to force change on current cell phones.
