It's also the data port. I mean the literal port is when most phones only have one.
The equivalent to home would be if some company came up with a barrel connector or something for the house, manufacturers wanted to make appliances that support it, and the government said "no, all appliances must have prong connectors." I don't know if they do that. I wouldn't put it past government. I disagree that that is the right thing to do.

My previous statement still applies. You don't seem to have a problem with the other end of the cord. The USB-A end that is a standard as a data port. Why aren't you arguing for each manufacturer to provide a different form factor for that?
I don't know if they do that.
They do that exactly. And for good reason. I'm a master electrician. I work with those rules.
If a manufacturer wants to use something other than USB-A, that should be their choosing. As their product might need something proprietary that USB cannot provide.
Proprietary is a different story. Nothing about a connection is proprietary.
