This is unenforceable really. Android is a monolithic OS, it’s very architecture would have to be reengineered, and then phone manufacturers would have to design their system drivers to be independent and distributable.
Windows is modular, this comes from the standard BIOS that came out of the bios wars in the 80’s. Having a standard hardware interface enables this.
No it’s not, just mandate unlocked or user-unlockable bootloaders, the open source Android dev community will do the rest. There would be degoogled custom ROMs and full linux (eg Ubuntu touch, postmarketOS, etc.) ports for every reasonably popular device within months.

Phones don’t have this.
