More a case of the whinging is pretty stupid.

The EU didn't just reduce the power input they also change the
regulations so that said vacs had to suck up more dirt. That is they
said they had to be better vacs and use less power. So what do people
want a 2000w one or a 600 watt one that cleans better?

Simple. Some people want a 2kw **** one, on principle, simply because
somebody's said they can't have one.

I'll bet the people who are complaining loudest don't even do the damn
hoovering.

Of course. But they do want to choose the machine their wife is then
forced to use.
