They came up with lightning when Android phones were using micro USB…

Yes, and? The usb forum knew at the time that they needed a replacement for micro USB, even if they were being slow about it.

Do you think it is likely now, based on the current state of connectors?

The EU wanted to force Apple to include micro USB. But you kind oh made my point, the regulators were going to force a substandard port on iPhone users

If they had forced micro USB, it sure seems like it would have been updated to USB C.

But they didn't force it.

And I thought you were arguing about the current law, not complaining about something that was ten years ago and didn't happen.

And you still didn't answer my question.
