We don't know the language to the legislation yet, so I think it's worth withhold judgment for now. Based on other recent legislation from the EU that I've had to work closely with, I would say the EU legislators are very aware of the pitfalls that come with writing a specific technology into law. They seem to deal with this by writing an initial recommendation, or providing a few concrete examples of how to conform int to the law. But hand off the longer term management to some sort of agency or regulator that already exists, and instructs them to work directly with industry to fine tune the technical aspects. Taking this approach create a natural escape hatch for new standards being introduced without new law being written. It'll still create a natural dampener on innovation in specific area, but it avoid completely stifling it. Also on quick FYI, USB-B has never been used on a modern mobile phone. The port is bigger than most phones! https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:USB-3.0-Stecker_(Typ_B).jpg#/media/File:USB-3.0-Stecker_(Typ_B).jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:USB-3.0-Stecker_(Typ...
