They wanted to software-limit non-MFI usb cables, not sure if the EU will stop them in time.
They already stopped them ... the EU law that mandetes the USB-C conenctor also mandates support of USB-PD if the device supports fast charging.
But that still won't affect 3rd party accessories other than just chargers.
Iirc the EU said it was expected to have feature parity between apple and non apple cables.
Also, if they did that, it would be a characteristic that makes iphones look worse than android. Just imagine being an iphone owner needing a charger and your friend hands you their fast charging android one only for it to be slow as piss for you right after they spent 10 minutes getting 40% charge.
