USB-C should’ve been the premium cable- high power charging and fast data transfer guaranteed. USB-A should’ve been used as the cheap cable for simple connectivity and lower power charging. Devices would naturally sort themselves out over time depending on their price bracket and the volume savings over time of USB-C production.
Instead, the Forum destroyed the entire purpose of USB-C from the getgo by allowing the “universal” cable to be disintegrated for cost-cutting purposes. Now it’s no longer universal. How were they this dumb?
