(*-I kid. I have no idea what is next, it just seems like the EU could have at least waited until the NEXT standard was released, so all manufacturers would be on board at same time. Because we ALL know USB-C will not be the main standard in 5 years.
Is there a need? USB-C pretty much addresses most of the issues. USB-A/B lasted 25+ years. With portable devices, Mini-USB came out, but it was too thick for thinner devices so MicroUSB came out
USB-C wasn't just a replacement for MicroUSB, it replaced USB-A while eliminating need for Micro. Added dual side support, and merged in support for HDMI/DP, Thunderbolt, 3.5mm and etc. You aren't getting a thinner connector and it is flexible enough for other use cases. So unless AI can come up with a more perfect port shape that is easy to manufacture, you aren't going to get another connector for at least 25+ more years. And when that happens, they can just add it to the standard
