In case anyone is wondering, yes, this is utter nonsense. The EU made USB-C mandatory only as a charger for portable devices like phones, tablets, headphones and mice. That's all. This new standard, unwelcome as it is, has nothing to do with charging phones so there's no reason why it can't be used in the EU.
But let's not allow measley facts get in the way of having a moan at nothing, shall we? Fucking EU. Forcing us to [checks notes] charge all out things using a single connector, reducing e-waste, and, uh, ensuring there's lots of futureproofing built-in. BASTARDS.
