The EU requirement isn’t actually USB-C. It’s whatever USB-IF says is the standard connector. So if USB-C gen2x2 (or wherever they will call it) comes out, that will be what everyone has to implement.
The problem would arise when USB-IF stops being the de-facto innovation driver for peripheral interconnection.
It's amazing how few people know this very basic fact about EU regulation yet are so quick to criticize it. Internet in a nutshell I guess...
It's also worth pointing out that Apple is part of the USB-IF and was one of the early pioneers of the Type C connector, so it's not like the EU is forcing them adopt some random foreign design.
Yeah, sure! Let me tell the tale of W3C and WHATWG.
