I do somewhat agree that it is govt overreach.

I think a more appropriate tool would be launching an investigation into why they've stuck with lightning when everyone else (including their other products!) use USB-C. That should essentially prove there is no good reason, other than making money off licensing, without regard to damaging the environment or exploiting the consumer. So they should get a giant fine for it and stop doing it.

But I don't believe there is the legal framework for the EU to do that, so they're trying to get the outcome they want using the tools that they have.
