The most relevant counter-example is how iPhones have already had different sim slot configurations for different regions. Or cell modems that match different frequencies in different regions. Apple in particular—because everyone knows we’re talking about Apple here—has enough of a market that non-EU lightning could definitely be worth it if they decide there is some compelling reason for it.
I hope they don’t, but it’s not something we can rule out at this point.
