The argument that the device-side should be left alone doesn't hold much water. All my laptops and phones use USB-C. All of them. Even the Apple laptops in the house. The only thing that requires a whole second set of chargers and cables is the iPhone. Laptop chargers tend to not have the other end of the cable datachable. And let's be real, here. This is Apple's fault. Apple alone has been creating this problem, and has been VERY aware than the EU has been pissed, for like a decade. Apple, what did you think was going to happen? If Apple hadn't been an asshole here, and tossed out the lightning port 5 years ago, then none of this would have happened. The EU is forced to legislate because Apple refused to cooperate. And the EU for YEARS told Apple "if you don't cooperate you're forcing us to legislate". You're also not wrong. This is a big shit sandwidch, and we're all gonna have to take a big bite. But this is VERY much Apple's fault that we're in this mess, and will switch to a different mess due to this legislation. It's an improvement by miles. Fuck you Apple for holding this back for so long. Literally everyone else did the right thing before the force of law.
