EU, not US, there's a letter difference. No I'm not kidding, not posting in jest, it's just not at all how the EU operates, a collective that is happy to tell the world's largest and wealthiest companies to go **** themselves.
My only fear from this is that when certain materials and chemicals are banned, industries switch to others that are often newer and whose health impacts are not (yet) known. Potentially out of the frying pan and into the fire.
I've tried to eliminate large amounts of plastic from my daily life, starting about 15 years ago. It's hard to do. If you ever eat out, it's pretty much impossible.
Perhaps you forgot read what I actually wrote? Bolded, below, for comprehension:

".. but there are some cooking tasks they are legitimately very good for."
