>Had the EU passed a similar law a decade ago, they would be stuck on mini or micro USB today.

They did and (surprise!) we aren't.

The EU didn't mandate micro USB. It was a voluntary standard and it considered a manufacturer to be in compliance if they shipped an adapter (which is what Apple did). The fact that it was voluntary and allowed adapters is why USB-C managed to take off. Also it took until 2021 before the EU decided they needed to change the standard.

Then how come iPhones didn't have mini or micro USB?
