But they were forced, at least for iPhones in Europe. It's a fact. Not a feeling. | ||

Sure it was Europe. Meanwhile Apple got raked over the coals for being too early with USB-C on their MacBooks. Apple would have moved away from Lightning eventually. Did Europe force that move a year sooner than otherwise? Maybe. Maybe not. | ||

Except they were steadily converting their devices to USB-C for years preceding the iPhone, and they had good reasons to make the iPhone the last device to get it. There is no indication that they were forced to do anything, and the best argument you have is a poster child for post hoc ergo propter hoc. A feeling. | ||
