Steps forward are few and far between these days, I'll take what I can get.

Last minute corrective adjustments shouldn't be legal in a democratic society tbh. I won't pretend to know about how the EU's legislative process works but, if this was voted on by the people, and then changed last minute, that's not what people voted for. I would expect this kind of thing in the US, because the officials commonly accept bribes to neuter or remove things big companies don't like but, I didn't expect it from the EU. but maybe thats just my ignorance speaking.

Either way though, I guess take what you can. Still a big improvement

So it's good, but nit perfect. I feel like that's a lot more than I dare hope for nowadays.
