I know about an Italian law from 2017 mandating that "all devices with FM radio must also receive Dab + services" [1]. Phones with only a FM chip obviously don't receive digital radio so I remember that as unintended (?) consequence Samsung was releasing updates to disable the chip. However the FM radio in my A40 still works.
