Lockable USB C connectors exist. Why do you think these would be banned?
The point is future use cases might not be covered by USB C today and it's not the role of government to dictate which components I select for my design. This was just an example.
fwiw the latch on those things is pretty terrible. What if I needed something like a Speak-On connector which twists? Can't do that with USB-C.
