Take electric tools. If I have a Milwaukee setup (lawn mower,leaf blower etc) and I buy a new drill. If I want to use the batteries I currently have I’ll have to get a Milwaukee drill.

Yes this is good business, but not all industries do this. Why?

Usb-c is small, reversable and has lots of pins so it can be future stable. It’s an open standard so it doesn’t need royalties. It has room to grow. So the EU chose it as the mobile device charging port.
