Well, considering the messy state of the different charging ports, that would not have been a bad idea either. I do not think it would have stopped usb-c from taking over, in the same way that the current legislation does not prevent revising it.
Standardisation is a good thing over all, and, for good or for worse, it often requires governmental entities to move it forward. If anything, it also creates a leveling field that promotes innovation for what really matters. Only big tech love the alternative, as part of sustaining an oligopolic status.

How would that work? USB-C became widespread because manufacturers gradually started adding it to their devices instead of micro-USB/whatever. As far as I understand that would be illegal now? So how could any new standard gain any traction?
