If a new plug becomes best, the government can be convinced to adopt that as new standard.

Convincing a company or two to use something and prove it superior in the market would be far easier than convincing the EU to adopt a new standard.
Apple still hasn't been convinced. The only way to enforce things from happening in society, is by law and by following up on that law if it isn't being adhered. That you don't like specific laws is a given; we all have that problem. A burglar doesn't like anti burglar law. A squatter doesn't like anti squatting law. A heroin user doesn't like anti heroin law. And Apple doesn't like laws demanding them to use certain connectors for chargers.
