Can MS be sued by EU for this? There was the thing with USB-C, because E-waste, and now the most used Desktop-OS says "just throw your PC away" for a not really needed (and artifically defined) requirement.
I don't think there would be any legal standing for it. The computers being dropped won't be losing their functionality since users could just switch to something different or keep using Windows 10 without security patches. The
The?
End.
