USB-C has only existed for 9 years. Apple has not been ignoring EU regulators for 11 years.

They were ignoring Micro-USB long before that.

Micro-usb really sucked though. I had several android phones that had broken micro-usb ports.

Lightning is actually a really nice connector design, despite the hate.
