The thing is, Tesla didn't even ignore it: in Type 2 / CCS2 markets, Tesla vehicles from the Model S onwards came with at least native Type 2 AC charging (and from the Model 3 onwards, with CCS2 - there wasn't the physical space in the original S and X). As of the last few years, CCS2 had basically already won in the those markets in the same way that NACS has basically won in North America today. (There is an adjacent issue - in many of these markets three-phase supply in domestic and small business settings is more common than in North America, and the Type 2 AC plug can supply 3 phase).
