Only suck it lightning. It still allows standard chargers like micro USB and mini USB

Are you sure? The EU parliament explicitly mentions USB C as the new mandatory standard.

USB C is mentioned in annex Ia and as an example in articles 11 and 12. As I understand previous articles, it is possible to use other standards that satisfy citeria from article 9.
