> micro-targeted > mandated USB-C on Apple devices

There is no law that states specifically Apple must specifically use USB-C. IIUC, the law is that all brands/manufacturers should use the same type of charger, an industry standard. That was apparently USB-C. Apple was the odd one out and had to change. If something better comes along, the industry as a whole can upgrade.

Americans always ask - but who decides - the industry decides. The industry gets to decide what they want to use.
