Perhaps it really is some utopian Earth-saving agenda, I don't know or care. But there is an agenda. The simple fact is that mandatory products are never the best products, else they wouldn't be mandatory. This is true of everything in life. Mandates only do things people wouldn't voluntarily do otherwise, and people in general don't do things just to be wrong.You are simply not listening.
When you read something positive about USB-C or someone pushing USB-C, your first response is to disagree, regardless of what was actually written and you interject your own false accusations.
I never claimed USB-C is vastly superiour, you are falsely accusing me here.
I only wrote USB-C is superiour over Lightning, as those were the two competing options out there.
Back in 2018 the EU didn't mandate USB-C, only that the market would agree on a common connector.
Everyone except Apple went with USB-C and implemented it.
Now Apple needs a last push to get rid of Lightning with the iPhone.
You admit you don't know or care about the agenda of the EU, yet you do accuse the EU that they didn't do this reluctantly.
I'd say you can only make this kind of accusation when you know, or at least have tried to investigate it.
Now it's just another false accusation.
This legislation goes all the way back to 2013.
I'm not expecting you to change your mind (and you don't have to), just that you stick to the facts.
