Worst part for me about the mandated USB-C situation is that they didn't even manage to make USB-C mandatory for everything. Almost all the non-Apple tech I've bought over the past couple years had USB-A in at least one end of the cable (phone chargers, drive enclosures, microphones, even a shaving machine!).
Ironically I have more cable issues than before, because I have almost no devices/chargers left with USB-A ports, yet I keep getting USB-A only cables on new tech I buy.
If they were going to mandate USB-C, they should have enforced it for the cables and charging bricks too. It's an absurd result of the regulation to allow shipping a phone with a mandated USB-C port but only include a USB-C to USB-A charging cable in the box.
