For context to HN readers reading all the naysayer comments: Here's old HN post about EU and USB-C regulation

"EU reaches deal to make USB-C a common charger for most electronic devices"

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31652291

And 1 year later: "Apple says iPhones will switch to USB-C chargers to comply with new EU law"

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33358353

It's interesting to see almost all the exact sentiment. I think barring some niches, most people are happy with USB-C transition.

I understand the scepticism but the expectation of "perfection" from regulators (incremental improvement disliked) while fanfare for incremental startup / tech improvement is a weird, cognitive dissonance of HN

I still remember the people arguing that lightning is just fine and we don't need usb-c. It's true, they existed.

Nowadays, good luck to find someone arguing that lightning iphones are better than usb-c.

I guess it would cost them dearly to recognize that they owe that to the eu regulation.

In the us they say vote with your wallet, obviously it didn't work..

Before that, many of them argued that powerpcs were better than x86. :)
