> limiting technical progress is not a good idea and we see that with the plethor of different power modes existing within USB-C.
Who is limiting technical progress? The laws don't state that only USB-C can ever be used; they state that chargers must all be compatible. Want to improve it? Contribute to USB, or come up with an entirely new standard that everyone can agree to.
> What if a company (Apple) comes up with a more efficient but also more elaborate way to quick charge their equipment?
Then they contribute to the next USB standardization, same as everyone else.
> How would you handle a situation where non-compliant chargers could even harm this equipment?
Same way it's currently done: Through consumer protection laws. USB standards are called standards for a reason.
> USB-C already is way too complex for the average Shenzen cookie cutter factory to implement it correctly.
And yet people are happily using USB-C to power all kinds of devices.
> How would you protect your customers from such a situation?

CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS
Enough with the FUD.
