There already are. Maybe not at the wall, but TO THE DEVICE? Which is where USB-C is now? yup. Some don’t even have a detachable cable, good luck trying to use the cable that comes with your desk lamp with the one that comes with your printer.![]()
If the connection into a device is objectively inferior and blatantly anti-consumer, then I whole heartedly welcome any kind of resolution to resolve that, especially when the solution is right freaking there in front of the company to adopt. Its a shame that this same problem with desk lamps, etc can't be fixed so easily, but where a better solution that has already been adopted by the masses exists, aka USB-C, a regulatory push towards that cannot possibly be negative.
Hell, even Apple themselves sell more devices that charge with USB-C that with Lightning now. It's about damn time. Most governments are absolutely broken, but even a broken clock tells the right time twice a day. There are many nuanced issues I have with those in power, but if they can force Apple into making a decision they should've made years ago, I am completely cool with that.
