What if the two-thirds of voters wanted to make a law saying chargers had to interoperate? (using a standard plug)

Tesla could still differentiate themselves through better service and infrastructure (I saw other posts describing how bad Leaf charging stations were). But they wouldn't be able to hassle consumers with lock-in.

When did locking in consumers become a fair way to recoup investment?
