@Main_Tomato@uwu.social i think this is the wrong idea. USB is quite flakey and mandating it stifles innovation. The article I saw on this said that it was to combat cable/charger electronic waste. They could have made it so USB charged devices were not bundled with cable/charger.

Further, if the real goal was reducing e-waste, they could have mandated a right to repair and documentation for installing OSes to give devices use beyond planned obsolescence.
