Micro USB did.

And then instead of making a connector like USB-C that everyone could use they made their own proprietary one.

Micro usb sucked.

It was weird how you’d go to plug it in in the darkness of night, and it wouldn’t fit, so you’d rotate it, but inexplicably it still wouldn’t fit, so you rotate it again….and now it fits?!?

No thank you, I don’t like cables that break the fabric of space and time and betray reality itself.

Micro-usb is just about the most garbage connector in the last 30 years. I'd damn near rather Apple have actually sent me a breadboard and some leads than have that connector.
