I’ll take that hypothetical problem over what we had in the past. A dozen different plugs, a dozen different cables, multiple required docks, incompatible charging bricks, proprietary plugs, and more.
I have yet to come across an issue with USB-C either personally or externally. But maybe some day it will happen. And I still won’t care because it’s better than it used to be.
How is this any different than buying the wrong cable in the past? You used to have to choose USB2, USB3, USB3.x, micro USB, mini USB, DisplayPort, Mini DisplayPort, HDMI, mini HDMI, VGA, DVI, thunderbolt, and more.
I think people are either too young to remember this disaster, or have just outright forgotten.
