It isn't about evil. It's about overreach. Did anyone in an EU nation imagine, when the EU was formed, that the EU would dictate to all its members what sort of chargers or adapters they could use for electrical devices?
The US has had standard plugs for electrical devices for decades. What was the last time you bought a microwave, or television, or toaster and it had a non-standard plug to go into the wall?
If the government can standardize the plugs on the wall side of the power cable, why shouldn't they standardize the plug on the device side of the cable? There may well be a good reason, so I'm asking sincerely.
