Yes, a ~3 trillion dollar company milking users by not including a charger, making them purchase a proprietary cable and a bag full of dongles when a more capable open standard is ubiquitous, is good actually.
The fact is, people need phones and many are buying from Apple. The legislation gives some very minimal protection to non omega nerds so they get ripped off slightly less.
But I’m sure your elders are all very interested in learning the technical differences between the 100 phones on the market in their final days. You should give a weekly Keynote on Lightning cables at their church meetings.
You’ve described some pretty shitty practices. This seems like a company people shouldn’t support with their money. Obviously their base wasn’t too upset over said practices or else they would have moved on to a competitor.
I don’t use Apple products, so I couldn’t care less about this, I’m just saying people had options. I prefer people help solve their problems rather then requiring government intervention, but whatever.
Also, be careful with the word “need”. You don’t need a phone to get by. It just makes life more convenient. I could put my phone down for a month and not much would change. Still go to work, grocery store, social activities, family stuff, chill at home, etc…

Lightning shall smite thy wallets.
Sure wish the phone was $12 more and came with the $12 charger I probably already have several of
Really hate when apple comes to my house sticks a gun in my face and forces me to buy their phone and accessories, they never wipe their feet
And you hate that, because you wouldn’t choose that phone and that means they shouldn’t either!
The lightning cable has been around for 9 years, they’re used to it. Who’s going to teach them about the new cable the EU forced on them?
Stay mad, scrub. USB-C won and you lost.
