> Why would they incur the expense of building it, lobbying for it, working through a new standard with the entire industry, only to not even be able to market it as a feature enhancement over competitors? There’s literally no profit-benefit to doing any of it.
Why was USB 3 invented? Or USB4?
> Ok. We should definitely assume 100% alignment, because that’s definitely the direction governments are currently trending. Good call. There would definitely be zero entrenched interests defending the status quo, so that’s a super smart, reasonable assumption for you to base your argument on.
lol. If newer standard are developed, and they certainly will be, it will be in the manufacturers interests to get them approved so they can sell newer devices, to get people to replace their older devices.

- PrimeMcFly 3y agoUSB3 already does. But, fine, why will USB5 be worked on? And we are talking about phones, in the EU all phones will be USB3, so Thunderbolt and Lightning won't be competition in this context.
- nvm0n2 3y agoSo it can be sold outside the EU?
- PrimeMcFly 3y agoThat's not the only reason, not even a reason actually, but let's say it is. Once made, you don't think they would lobby to have it recognized in the EU legislation?
