  Correct, but companies prefer to minimize costs to maximize profit, so if a large portion of their market changes rules, companies will likely adjust so that their products are all the same for all markets. A similar thing will probably happen with Apple once the USB-C thing goes into effect in the EU, affecting US and other markets.
