"This is the sort of thing that allows the free market to work efficiently."
History shows otherwise. As an example, lets say they pass this law and require all phones to use a specific charger standard.
In 3 months, an innovative company creates a new standard that is not only more efficient, but cheaper. Instead of just being able to sell it, they have to go through the government to get the standard changed..which will NOT be fast.
This will only stifle technology. If we ever want to curb things like climate change, we need less laws like this in the world.
