What about the CRA is so bad? The requirements seem like common sense. Can anyone point out something specific that seems overly onourous? Debian couldn't...
Our industry desperately needs better regulations, IMO.

Big parts of the legislation are good and long overdue. The big problem is that this effectively also includes many free/open-source software projects, as the definition for what constitutes "commercial" or "commercial-grade" is very broad. You host a FOSS library on Github that can/is used by others? Congrats, you now have to fulfil all requirements. Look for "Update on the European Cyber Resilience Act" by the Eclipse Foundation on YouTube for infos.

Get ready for the next evolution of “this website is not available in your country” except it’ll be GitHub repos, huggingface models, etc. The internet became worse with the gdpr/cookie warning stuff and this will continue that trend.
Insane tbh. EU is all about safety to the extreme and it’s nauseating. Pretty soon you won’t be able to fart there without getting a permit and sign off from some kind of council.
