This organic standard has failed completely.
I have to serve five different charging ports (Magsafe, Lightning, USB C, micro USB, and some proprietary thing for my watch). The watch charger only comes with an USB A cable, so now either I need an extra dongle or two charging bricks.
USB C was introduced in 2014 and really came about in 2016. These companies had six+ years to converge on something reasonable. But they didn't. Be it out of greed or plain laziness.
So yes, this law is an improvement.

Imagine looking back on today from 10 years in the future with us being stuck on the legacy USB-C standard because of a variety of disparate legislation all over the world holding the new standard back. Or that the standard that could have happened, never does. We can never know what future we could have had if not for actions in the past.
