> t's sad that it took legislation to make this happen

Every time this topic comes up i still don’t understand what problem is this legislation supposed to solve. We’re not talking about infrastructure standarization like a gas pump, an electrical outlet or a lightbulb (which has hundreds of standards BTW) but a simple cable. Are we making laws just to accommodate consumer’s convenience now?

I don't understand the question.

Customer convenience, including interoperability and competition, is the reason those other things are standardized.
