Look I think the USB-C requirement is a net positive, but it’s honestly ridiculous that a small fraction of the world’s governments are dictating what tech companies can and must do worldwide. This kind of stuff is not life or death or human rights related - it’s apps on an electronic ecosystem. It should be left to the free market to decide. Apple has good reasons not to allow this for privacy and safety concerns, something many customers appreciate. The EU is going to end up passing one of these mandatory requirements and it will cause major issues and/or stifle innovation.
