I somewhat agree with the rest but:

> In contrast, Apple competing with USB with their own connectivity standard has a negative impact on basically everyone.

Does it? I haven't ever been negatively affected or even affected at all as far as I can tell, I happen not to use Apple products or interact with the Apple ecosystem much.

What would these effects be?

It has some annoying times, mostly for people using apple products, though. Like Macbooks not implementing USB-C monitor chaining but supporting Thunderbolt chaining, or even something as simple as my friend being unable to charge her phone in my car because all of my cables are usb-c.

You don't even have to own Apple stuff to be impacted.

"My phone's dead, can I borrow your charger?"

"Sorry, I have an iPhone."
