Standard business practice. Every company create their own proprietary stuff and try to make them the standard via lobbying etc, then earn money from other companies when their stuff becomes the standard.
Looking like the Tesla connector is well on its way to becoming the standard now. GM, Ford, Rivian, (I’m forgetting one), and now Mercedes all switching over. The Tesla Supercharger network in the US is fantastic, much better than the alternative. Hopefully that doesn’t go downhill as more cars flood the network.
