Is the argument for charging standardisation not pretty strong? It slows obsolescence?
Consumers are split between those who switch phones every two years and those who switch every five. Obviously Apple, Samsung and Huawei would rather discourage people keeping handsets for five years and will design products to lose their convenience. When settling standards having a voice at the table to counter that (and push for environmental responsibility) seems sensible to me.
