How would it be? Unfortunately there are still a lot of consumer hostile practices going on that are completely legal in the EU. I‘m no expert of course so I‘m curious what EU law would regulate this exact practice.

They went after Apple for their proprietary chargers and directed them to switch to the USB standard.

But they’re using USB

That‘s different than a dock which you could argue is part of the console.

does charging not work on switch 2, or just A/V?

EU made iPhone have proper USB C port, instead of proprietary stuff
It can probably do something about this too. I think USB C rule was only for phones so may not directly apply to Switch, but they can make Nintendo fix it.
