The far left wing of the Democratic party is out of touch with the values and priorities of most Americans. This will go nowhere, which is good, because we don't need the federal government dictating product design to companies.
In the case of a phone, their product is actually dangerous without a standard connector in a way the US focuses on more than any other nation AFAIK. A 911-call ability risk.

This is a real stretch. In that case, should the federal government also make it illegal to not carry a phone?
That's the nice thing about a free market with perfect trust busting. You are trying to make me choose a large tech to like just so I can buy a phone with everything they choose for me to maximize their benefit.

The US made this stretch over and over, i.e. on IP phones that didn't want to support 911. In a way they are right, any reductions in quality or expectations in availability would quickly go from a niche problem to few people still having a landline with 911 service. Having no phone is fine because you don't expect to have it be your way to call 911, iphone owners often think they planned correctly but can't make any calls once their battery dies.

People know they can't make calls if their phone battery dies.
