In most cases, when the EU passes a law to make something happen, it's cheaper for manufacturers to make that EU-compliant device available worldwide rather than make a specific version just for the EU market. So, I'd expect user-replaceable batteries in flagship smartphones to be available in the US by 2027 also.
