Definitely crossed their minds at the EU, ofcourse they expect companies to ride the edge of what's permitted. That's what companies do. The EU wants batteries to be way more ecological, cheaper and very easy to find and replace. If they deem what a company is doing not in line with this philosophy, they will overnight ban that product from being sold anywhere in europe.
Apple may fight that decisions in court, but definitely loose because the EU looks after their citizens and Apple looks out for their wallet, and those courts tend to take the side of the people. Meanwhile loosing literal billions in profits and being publicly labelled as a non-environmental conscious company.
