The EU regulation has a stipulation to re-visit the chosen standard at set intervals (IIRC 3 years?), it's not "for all time"

You are correct, every 3 years. From https://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes/BRIE/2021/6988... :
> Reporting: the Commission would be required to report to the Parliament and Council on the application of the directive regarding new charging technologies every three years, starting from three years after the date of entry into force of the directive (article 47(2a) RED). By the same date, it would also be required to report on the impact of the possibility to acquire devices without any charging device and cable (article 3a(1) RED).
