These things are not mutually exclusive, iirc they are doing appliances & cars, it's just that phones are often highlighted & batteries are usually the first thing that fails and can be easily replaced in all cases die to how build electronics. Charger standardization was in the pipeline for about a decade so not exactly a priority it being only passed now.

Yes and 10 years ago the EU wanted to standardize on Micro USB. That’s not exactly a rousing endorsement on EU regulation.

They didn't specify micro-b just that the phonemakers should settle on a port (which is partially why they didn't mandate it, the hope was that the industry would figure itself out but it didn't). Micro-b at the time was the most popular port for any handheld appliance. USB-C was only published in 2014.
