Mass market engineering (of any kind) always steers towards producing cheapest products possible as long they're still tolerably functional. In other words, the cheapest crapjob of a bugfest wins as long as its happy path still works well enough that consumers still consume, keeping the money flowing. There are no sustainable mass (large and non-specialized) markets for high-quality high-complexity products, they consistently spawn then get killed by competition from all the cheap junk.
How's the proposed 5 years 100% repair/replace/refund warranty is going to fix this core problem, rather than just generate more e-waste that's meant to get even more frequently replaced (as mandated by law, where now you're just told to fuck off) as it fails? Sure, some most glaring issues are probably going to get fixed, but the overall principle suggests that it's more likely cheap junk will get even more cheaper - cheaper to replace - than reliable, with more customer-hostile junk attached (ads to cover the costs, killing interop to sell licenses, etc), continuing the enshittification.
I strongly suspect that it'll primarily affect the money flows, not the product qualities.
