How did Apple dodge this with micro-USB?

It was not a law, but an agreement (to stop the EU enacting a law) and dongles were sufficient. This is a law and dongles aren't sufficient.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_external_power_supply - they included a dongle that allowed micro-USB charging of iPhones.
A dongle was available.
