I don't disagree with anything you said but you're missing the point. Governments move really slowly, it took them thirteen years to make USB-C the standard. When something better comes along, nobody will be able to put it on their devices because there's a law saying they have to have USB-C. I hope I'm wrong and the EU quickly modifies the regulation to allow for a new standard soon after it's developed, but I really don't think that'll be the case.

There's nothing to stop companies having a proprietary connector as well as USB-C. When something better comes along, and everyone can see and agree it's better, the rule can be updated.

Yeah, I don't think that's happening. Nobody will put 2 connectors on their phones, most likely we're just gonna be stuck with USB-C on phones for a decade while every other device moves to NewConnector3000.
