On a slightly different angle, my frustration is that it's not done on a general standards or outcome based requirement. For example rather than dictating a specific thing or even standard like micro-USB, simply require, e.g., that 90% of all power cables must comply with an industry self-organized standard within 3 years of the final release and, e.g., that the largest firms must subsidize the compliance by the smallest firms in order to prevent gaming the system to drive the small companies out of business. There is a rather significant and major issue that this change highlights; essentially all our politicians and bureaucrats see themselves as smart and wise enough to be central planners and masters of the universe … when the truth could not be farther from it.
