The European law is supposed to have a provision in it for review and modification - so in the event we get USB-D or whatever, there should be a mechanism to incorporate that in.

No. iPhone users can use/share with Android users.

The point is when a new incompatible plug happens you have to replace your existing accessories, and accessory manufacturers have to choose which hardware is supported, or everyone has the dreaded adapters.

only those android users using usb-c, not those with the various preceding usb's.
You are correct, it's only ever lightning accessory that becomes junk, despite lightning preceding usb-c, and having more physically robust construction.

Lightning only supports USB 2 speeds - not the most future proof standard, even if it is more robust

I switched from Android to to iPhone SE- mostly as a matter of longevity and relatively cheap repair prices.
Lighting is not better, it slides out more easily, it’s connections are less consistent (if you’re using a headphone adapter you will get disconnects), and it just doesn’t feel as good.
