I am not going to deep dive into Australian law but would be willing to bet there have been strong emissions control laws for tunes and exhausts for some time there. The fact that they are currently largely ignored doesn't mean it will stay that way.

There isn't a law that can target the sale of tuning devices, you as the owner off a vehicle can still be done at any moment by failing to pass emissions though.
Again, its not like the US - the EPA and its legal devices are some of the most powerful written into US law.
As the number of electric cars increase, particularly with worldwide sale bans of ICE then there is much less of an impact vs the money involved in enforcing it, so I really don't know if it gets worse - perhaps? Its hard to say, but certainly, you could be right about what happens in the future in other countries.
