The reason we should thank the EU is because of this rule. While I cannot guarantee this rule is responsible, the fact that it’s mandated means it’s significantly more economically viable to use the same connector across all regions (including America), and so this rule is the primary factor in the standardization of charging cables.
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, but I don’t see anyone claiming the EU created it.
Yes, Americans famously love having dozens of different chargers and cables to manage

I know why we have the EU to thank .
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).

New chargers and cables = New freedom units to measure stuff with
