The result of the same sort of regulation in the UK is the opposite; they have excellent plugs and sockets. It doesn't seem that regulated standardization inherently stifles innovation, but you do run the risk of standardizing on the wrong thing.

I think the problem with something like USB-C is that technology is still evolving (while AC power distribution is pretty much settled). Just imagine solid state batteries allowing multi kW charging. USB-C isn't physically able to do this afaik.
