I doubt it, they'll probably just go for the least common denominator, which is generally what happens with California's laws (I see lots of "this may cause cancer in California" warnings on stuff, and I've never lived in Cali). Or the USB-C thing on iPhones due to EU laws and cookie banners due to EU and Cali laws.
That would only be a concern if Colorado is the only market since they're pretty small, but we're seeing traction in other states, so we're more likely to see companies just roll out most things to most states.
They will likely discriminate a bit if you don't live in one of the states (e.g. on warranties), but I doubt they'll have a state filter for parts and whatnot because that probably costs more than just rolling it out to everyone.
