That’s not what it sounds like. This is what happens when politicians force reasonable tech standards but let the companies in question implement the standard as cheaply as they want.
Security researcher Thomas Roth recently uncovered several vulnerabilities in Apple’s ACE3 USB-C controller for the iPhone 15 and 16. Although no immediate action is required from users, and these vulnerabilities don’t affect Android devices, Roth’s findings underscore the possibility of future attack methods being developed.
Emphasis mine.
Apple knew they were going to be forced to change, and they could have found a better controller, but they didn’t. They could have followed suit with the Android industry, but they just had to do things in that “walled-garden” way only Apple does.

Wasn’t Apple already using USB-C on iPads? Are the iPads using the same controller or did they change it up?
Who do you believe fabricated that controller?
Are you about to pivot into Chinese conspiracy theories? Because if so, I don’t care, unless you have evidence for this specific USB-C controller.
Mf did you even watch the video? The security researcher explains what happened when the EU forced apple to move to USB-C.
They say what controller they used, which manufacturer made it, how it was exploited, and how that wasn’t an issue on the lightning port.
