But that's just not how these things tend to work in practice. Again, I like that the EU law finally killed the stupid lightning connector. USBC is a good physical standard. I just have legitimate concerns that we will be "stuck" with it for a long time because the friction to market for the next iteration will be relatively higher.
I'm aware. It is forced standardization. As for "everyone", not sure how that is defined but I assume if Google, Samsung, HP, Dell etc decide, Apple has to go along.
