I guess my point is that even PoW systems won't be entirely unaffected (albeit not quite to the extent that PoS systems are), since validators are crucial to the integrity of the blockchain.
To attempt to extend the electric car ban analogy: this feels like adding onerous/infeasible reporting requirements to pipeline operators (PoW validators) and power plants (PoS stakers), neither of whom know anything about the end customer refueling at the pump / charger station, but not the oil refineries (PoW miners).
And yes, the reporting requirements would also be in place for the electric utility (PoS validators), which still doesn't know anything about the charger station's customers.
