I didn't say I didn't like them - I wish we'd started out with them.
The medium seems capable of carrying anything - but there are many TYPES of usb-c too that can trip you up. You can still have the 'wrong' usb-c cable!
But, as you say, big corps love to have prop. shit and lock in - extreme example is apple, but most play the game to some extent.
It just aint GREEN in the transition.

@gemlog But we didn't have the technology to do so until now. USB has been around forever, but it didn't have enough power to do almost everything without drawing lots of power, also causing environmental issues at a greater scale. :flan_shrug:​ @EU_Commission

@gemlog And as far as being green in transition, it never is, but it leads to it. As I said, blame the corporations for going with proprietary connectors and such which then end up as e-waste when they discontinue those products. @EU_Commission
