How does Austrian economics respond to the iphone USB C situation?

Obviously the unregulated free market has many advantages, but there are certain scenarios where I see people touting the benefits of regulations. One recent example of this is the implementation of USB C ports in all new iphones. the EU was going to halt the sale of all new iphones unless they added USB C ports. Many people are saying that this was a huge benefit to society, not forcing people to have a bunch of different cables around the house and what not. My question is how do austrian economists respond to a situation like this? Do they deny that Apple adding USB C was of benefit to society, or do they admit that in certain cases, economic regulation can actually be benefitial?
