They don't. They only have the right to create laws, and that's what they do.
If you didn't have a law saying that you can't kill people, maybe iPhone would come with a feature that discharges its battery so you get shocked and die. But it's forbidden by law, so they don't have this feature.
There's absolutely no difference with the charging port or the openness of the software.
> It should be people's choice, not EU's.
The people's choice to be... locked out of the most popular charging port? I guarantee you the people's choice aligns with EU for all matter related to Apple.
