The EU can't extricate itself from Russian gas despite years of Russian aggression in Ukraine. How do you think they are going to do with U fucking S tech? ๐ฑ
How is US tech going to do without European money? It's a two-way street. Things like GDPR, USB-C charging everywhere and other regulations have shown that the EU has plenty of influence.
USB charging is the worst example ever. Ever ever.
It took the EU something like 15 years and several laughable attempts until they somehow made it.
USB-C is only like 10 years old, and widespread availability has been within maybe the last 5 years. I think it's fine they waited, enforcing a brand new and unproven technology would have been a bad idea.
That's why I generalized my answer to USB and not only USB-C.
