It's not correct to say "Two years ago, the EU law that mandates USB-C on newly-available devices wasn't even really in consideration" - The European Commission published the draft legislation on 17th September 2021. This then had to be democratically discussed and amended by the European Parliament and EU Member States, but almost every draft law is passed - so it was very definitely in consideration!. Here's the timeline (with linked documents), as described on the European Parliament's web site: https://oeil.secure.europarl.europa.eu/oeil/popups/ficheprocedure.do?reference=2021/0291(COD)&l=en
