I wonder how they will avoid it. Perhaps name their device a Personal Digital Assistent? It's easy to make a phone "virtual" inside the device nowadays.

That would just push the EU to regulate harder.

Why would they want to avoid it in the first place?

My theory is that they just want to wait for the legislation so that this very minor change that may upset part of the userbase can be blamed on the EU squarely, and they are okay either way (nigh every other device they manufacture are using usb-c)
