> This is not a "you must use usb-c" law, but rather "you must figure out how to get along" law.

Correct, thanks for reading the actual regulation

It does specify USB-C as the common charger port for now, of course (with support for future charging protocols over USB-C). And it does allow for technological evolution

(And of course the margin of improvements in wired charging diminishes over time - I think such regulation would have been more problematic before USB-C came along)




> And it does allow for technological evolution

That’s just silly because it doesn’t. Any new standard won’t be able to get any traction because no device would be allowed to use it.
