That sounds like profit motivated negligence, and it sounds like a standard justification for why Europe is going to hold companies liable.

It is indeed. And that sucks but that's what it is. Product design is about calculated risks and trades. It's a good thing regulators are here to help because companies won't do it on their own and the general public doesn't care enough.

We will all owe the EU a massive debt of gratitude. Hopefully USB C was just the tip of the iceberg.
