So how is it an improvement to have the same myriad of different charging standards but also multiple different port configurations?

If you think that's my argument then you, and a dozen or so others, have sorely misunderstood anything I'm saying.

The purpose for these laws is ostensibly to "reduce e-waste" which is complete BS. And I know it's BS because practically everyone arguing with me is NOT making that argument. It's all about personal conveniences which is an abuse of state power and often has unintended consequences.
