It changed my economy game.
Now I have to buy an USB-C to USB-A adaptor to plug USB-C stuff into my already standing devices. Honestly, no idea why didn't they make it connector-compatible. Wasn't that the entire point of the "U" in "USB"?
Because USB-A sucks donkey balls and needed to die in a fire.
Nah, the point of the “U” in “USB” is so that devices communicate in a standardized way through a standardized bus. The port itself doesn’t need to be universal—after all, USB-C is I believe the first time that the host port and the device port are the same, previously there was always an A for host and B for device, even with mini-USB and micro-USB.
Pretty much no way to do so without losing most USB-C benefits.
They really wanted to put an end to this meme.
But manufacturers wanted a micro usb replacement and this is what we got.
