How would this work? Not all bikes are the same thus not all bikes require the exact same amount of work/time in order to make the necessary restriction.
The law requires that you ride a bike of a given maximum power, you could buy a bike that doesn't exceed the limit and then not pay for a restriction - if you
choose to buy a machine that produces more power and thus requires equipment bought and work done in order to comply, that's your decision - and thus the cost should be yours too.

As stated above this is not so - in essence the throttle will not open more than a given amount, there will be no difference other than that.
