The reality is that Apple’s Lightning cables don’t last forever anyway (some even say they have terrible durability) and hundreds are replaced every day somewhere in the world, on a cadence of every few years max. Introducing legislation means that the next time people upgrade they’ll buy a USB-C cable instead. The “extra” waste is not as big as you or Apple make it sound like.
