This is my sense as well. Congress will pass overly broad language, then the actual regulators who actually have to put in place will be like "what the fuck? how do we even conform to this?". Regulators will most likely issue exemptions year-after-year and basically say "we're not going to enforce this year, but next year you guys really better have your stuff in line"
This is almost exactly how the individual health insurance mandate worked in the ACA. Ten years later, it's never been enforced a single time. It just gets waived, year after year.

That is incorrect; it was in place and the shared responsibility penalty applied on taxes if the mandate was not adhered to from when it became effective in 2014 through 2018, but not after that because it was repealed by the Tax Cut and Jobs Act. It was never “waived”.
