USB3 is 15 years old and was common at least 10 years ago.

And yet USB2 is still the baseline standard for the USB-C standard ratified less than 10 years ago, the standard that the EU mandated compliance to.

If the EU wanted to outlaw USB2 phones it should have done that. But there would have been pushback from other vendors too - and rightly so.
