Your post seemed to indicate substantial overlap and that Apple chose Lightning over USB-C -- perhaps not your intent -- in any event, my goal was to clarify the timings that Lightning was effectively market ready while USB-C was still an idea.

Hardly any of the EU's laws are "overreach". They have the best privacy laws, great competition law, and excellent consumer protection laws.
And here's a hint for you: Rights are implemented as "government laws".
Don't forget to mention there's a cost to those protection laws. One of the big reasons why a base M3 MBP 14 costs over 20% more than it does here in the States after factoring in exchange rates and our average sales tax.
If you are an American, I suggest you read up on positive vs negative liberty. The positive liberty you suggest is antithetical to our constitutional makeup. The limited government created by our Constitution is the institutional expression of negative liberty. Rights are not granted nor implemented by laws, rather are protected by laws.
