Nazi particles aside, what's with the EU self-fellating over a policy that came into force like a year ago? And one that didn't really do anything in practice beyond force Apple to use USB-C a couple of years earlier than they were gonna do otherwise.
This is the flagship statute from the world's premier self-styled technocratic treaty organisation, and it's a rubber-stamp of something the private sector was self-regulating towards years earlier.
It's consumer palpable which, depending on where you are, is something the average person doesn't see the EU do a lot. The other big one would be EFRE funds with accompanying large posters saying this is paid by the EFRE funds but that's kind of region specific.
Previous favourite would've been Schengen, but even removed from the fact that that predates the EU, it's also a hard sell now that everybody is back to being used to backed up border crossings on account of getting too racist to keep one of the good parts of the EU going
