It depends on how burdensome they expect the law to be. Apple did decide to comply with the USB-C law, but I'm sure there are hypothetical laws they would not comply with. In such a case, I expect apple would be willing to spend enough money lobbying against the law to make sure it never becomes law in a large market. I'm not sure who lobbied against and in favour of the USB-C, or who is harmed and helped by it.

And we must recognise this as a case of a State (or in this case the EU) making a market better (by enforcing interop with a USB-C) standard. And playing a hugely positive role.

Is this what you think _should_ happen?

In which market do you expect that to happen, one is large when compared to (checks notes) ... The EU?
