Don't comply in advance, that's what I say. Unfortunately, that's what systemd is doing, and what archinstall, xdg-desktop-portal, and Freedesktop.org are on the verge of doing.
For the vast majority of people who don't live in California, including myself, California law can go fly a kite.

Doesn't the law expect "Operating Systems" to do this? I feel like everyone should point fingers and lean on bureaucracy. Systemd should say "well don't look at us, we're not an operating system, we're just an init and services system", and Linux says "well we're just a kernel, usermode does whatever it wants", and Debian says "well we're just a distro, we didn't write any of the packages we just stick them together." If the tech illiterate idiots who wrote the poorly thought out law can't figure out who to ask, maybe they'll do their due diligence next time.
