This isn’t exactly true. An industry consensus is demanded in the EU, that just happens to be USB-C ATM. The rules are flexible enough to allow for technology advance, as long as everyone does it all at once.
Where everyone is defined by everyone big enough to send delegations to implementer forums and dictate top down standards to everyone else.

Remember HDCP?
