But weren't those standards defacto? I share your penchant for the shape of a bulb socket and purposely bought a phone that still provides an audio jack... but afaik regulators never dictated those shapes.

Maybe gas pump sizes at gas stations are a better example?

I see pump dimensions in the law here but don't know if there was traditional regulation on fuel pumps being compatible.
