There will need to be a lot of exceptions/exemptions...

Yeah -- because you can't connect your shiny new AI data center to the grid if there's no hardware to do that.
Interesting the people most in need of this stuff right now, and the most desperate to get their projects up and running fast, also happen to have very deep pockets, too.

And then again, often people put new stereos in cars...aftermarket, etc.

Not so much, no. Modern cars have single infotainment systems that include the air conditioning, navigation, etc, all tied into one unit. An aftermarket system isn't going to be able to interface with the climate control system on different makes/models. My car is a 2004 -- over 20 years old -- and even though the stereo and the climate controls are technically separate components, they are together in the same (proprietary) section of the dash (no DIN or Double-DIN slot). Replacing the stereo means getting third-party controls for the A/C. The alternative is removing a lower storage pocket to add a installation bracket for the new stereo and having a "dead" (non-functional) factory stereo remain above.

Reddit is free to run their business as they choose. They lose ad revenue from people using clients that don't display ads, so they charge those people for the API access to use those clients instead of the official Reddit mobile client. There have been some recent reports of them blocking mobile browser access to the website as well, to push more people onto the mobile app, likely for the same reason. Don't want people using an ad-blocking or privacy-enhancing browser on their site.
