The legislation freezes development in time. It's unlikely that anything will be able to replace USB-C any time soon, because it is legislated in place.

I'd rather see the tech continue to improve and let the marketplace decide what tech is superior.

Despite USB 2 being universal once upon a time, it didn't stop tech improvements at all.

universal != legislated

USB C isn't legislated that strictly, it provides a sane baseline, exactly like USB 2 was. Easiest way for you to understand it is C is an official baseline, 2.0 was an unofficial baseline.

You can still easily add your "technologically superior" port to your devices alongside the standard.
