Please now do the same for removable batteries found in DIY tooling (typically wireless drill, lawnmower, etc). A normed and interoperable protocol, forbidden private/patented interface.
And then the same for internal batterie controllers.
Then, we will have moved on right to repair.

What happens when something better than USB-C comes along?
