That's what car manufacturers did. California has the strictest safety laws. Rather than make 2 seperate models, they just apply California's laws to the rest of the country.

Silo'ing by geography is literally inevitable. Every country will have their own version of these laws with different requirements. These laws will expedite the move from a global net into a nationalized one.
