You should verify this, but I think there is like a consortium of sorts made up of tech companies that pick a standard that they all must follow. So in the future, it’s possible for them to pick a new standard, and then after a transition period everything would be required to switch (though of course you could still continue using old devices, they just can no longer be sold new).

What happens if the better technology is invented by a company not part of that chosen tech club? They get to block it’s adoption?

If it’s really that much better, it’ll be used for other things and catch on, then they’ll be a part of the group.

How can it be used for other things, if this law makes that illegal?
