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?

As a consumer I like the uniformity of the charging and such things. But as a fan of free market and innovation, let companies do whatever they want. In the case of apple, it’s just a charging port conformity. It’s not like it has dangerous or illegal parts or was a ton less efficient or “green” to have a lightning vs usb-c port. Let consumers decide what they want. I don’t think the charging port was the biggest factor when choosing a phone
