    A lot of people seem to be opposed to this argument, seeing it as a kind of government overreach, but I think it can work if done correctly. Things like USB and HDMI are already governed by collectives of companies, I think having the government work together with them can be beneficial for both consumers and producers alike.

      Sometimes the regulators sit back and see how the market is pushing, then regulate it to reduce waste. EV chargers for example.
