It only means that device makers will have to agree on a new standard before they can drop the previous one. I agree that it will slow down things, but there is no chicken and egg problem.

And what if they can't agree? Maybe apple make a device so thin that even USB-C won't fit and other manufacturers explicitly decide to hobble them by not supporting a thinner connector. This law would be great for anti-competitive practices. Lowest common denominator wins by default.

  The iPad with a USB-C port is less than 6mm thick. How thin do you think tablets can actually go?

    At one point I thought 6mm was impossible.
