Thankfully that EU initiative failed. They wanted the industry to adopt micro-usb as the standard, which would have sucked and would be worse than the situation today

The EU charger mandate required USB if USB was sufficient, IIRC apple managed to continue using lightning connectors b arguing that USB standards of the time where not enough for the iPhone.

Is the situation today not 'everything is micro-usb, usb-c, or apple'?
