Actually they do follow the EU regulation. It states that the power adapters use the standard USB connector which Apple complies with. What you're thinking about is the cable between the adapter and the phone/tablet/whatever, and that cable isn't part of the regulation, only the power adaptor.
I understand your point but its not really fair. The choice is not always conscious when there are a thousand behavioral analysts on the other side of the screen trying to make you use their apps more and more.
I would say its the lack of a conscious choice that makes us using our phones so much.
