I guess the US is just okay with Tesla having a monopoly on EVs?
What is stopping Elon Musk having a fallout with an another car company in the future, pulling the licensing deal for the charging port and stopping their ability to produce cars?
Are all other cars in the US doomed to be 2nd tier? Why would Tesla share improvements to charging rate when it could use new versions of the charging system to sell Teslas?
How is it okay for there to be one price for electricity for Tesla owners and a higher price for non-Tesla owners?
The SAE is standardising the plug to minimise the chance of that happening. As garbage of a human Musk is, the Tesla / NACS plug is a much better design than the other standards.
