> seems to have nothing but positive impact for workers.

Having been IT in an international company, I can tell you that we were not fond of some of the European unions because they would push back against anything that anyone over there didn't like. This included things like "you guys need to stop using Windows 7 on 5-year-old laptops and start using Windows 10 like the rest of the company". I guess maybe from their view that was still a "positive impact for workers", but they were a huge pain point.

My experience in the same kind of setup is that such an upgrade comes bound with all kind of modern workplace surveillance tools (hello Zscaler and SSL termination), so the pushback is actually very much warranted under European customs/laws, even though misjudged from the US/management side.
