    I know why we have the EU to thank .

    If Apple and the Americans had their way, each of those would use a different proprietary connector.

    Americans don’t want proprietary connectors. We’re happy to get USB-C, too.

      Ah, I misunderstood. I conflated “Americans” (lawmakers) and “Americans” (everyone else).

        When did anyone say the EU created USB-C? They passed legislature that required the mass adoption of it and are the reason Apple had to switch from that stupid lightning connector (and other companies can’t try to make their own), but I don’t see anyone claiming the EU created it.
