It doesn't matter. Whether I prefer the one or the other should be up to me to decide, not up to a politician. I don't need anyone to tell me what I may or may not use, or what I should or should not like. I will use whatever I please.
What's next? The EU mandating all shoe manufacturers to make only brown shoes, because those are deemed the most beautiful and fashionable, and all other colours are deemed officially ugly? Or banning zippers and mandating that all jackets must have buttons from now on, then saying, "oh, but buttons are so much better, I can't think of a single valid reason why anyone would prefer a zipper"?
As I said, I don't have a preference for either Lightning or USB-C. But I loathe political interference just for interference's sake. If, by pure chance, something good may occasionally come from this interference, that doesn't make it more acceptable.
