The FDA isn't directly requiring all painkillers to have safeguards. But should an effective abuse-deterrent drug be developed, the FDA said it has the power to remove on-the-market rival products which don't.

Such a decision would send a strong message to pharmaceutical makers that pain drugs with no safeguards are likely to be removed from the market—and that there are billions of dollars in potential revenue to be had from the sale of painkillers that are abuse proof.
