How Nintendo locked down the Switch 2’s USB-C port and broke third-party docking (www.theverge.com)

Doesn't this run counter to EU's rule that all small electronic devices - which the Switch 2 falls under - need to have USB-C chargers? In the sense that even though the plug is USB-C shaped, it's not compliant to the standard?

Sigh, the more I read about Nintendo Switch 2… The more nonsense it becomes.

I actually was curious about the Switch 2 and was wondering about Donkey Kong Bananza. Though, the more I read, the more I hesitate to purchase one later on.

I will only purchase a Switch 2 once somebody comes up with a way to hack it (and assuming any modchip is not unreasonably difficult to install); if that doesn't happen, fuck it, I'm gonna pass.
