MODERATORS
If they co-developed it, why did it take the EU forcing them to switch to it?
Because they wanted to stick with their lightning ecosystem for iPhone

To a certain extent, yes
Because you can make more money when you abuse your market position to sell overpriced cables.
Because when they switched from the 30 pin connector to lightning, everybody bitched and moaned about it. So they promised they’d keep lightning for a decade. It’s been 11 years.
But I’m sure if they’d broken their promise and switched earlier, everyone would have been understanding.
Literally yes. Obstinance is not a virtue.
