I think this is probably a win for consumers over the short term. It would be nice to assume USB-C, but USB-C is far from perfect. We’ve seen an evolution in phone connectors over the years, and they do keep getting better over time. I worry that regulating the connector will stymie future improvements, but I guess that’s the trade we make.

Honestly I fail to see innovation. There was ton of propertiary connectors 20 years ago. Then everybody moved to USB 2.0/2.1 with two physical connector options - micro USB and lightning. Then everybody, apart from Apple enabled USB 3+, by moving to USB-C connector. Apart from that nothing really happened for well over a decade now (not that it was necessary).
