    Tbh, I don’t get what the author wants.

    USB C means that I can have one cable and one charger that does it all. It also means that whatever cable or charger I have, it will do most things decently enough.

    That’s by far better than in the before times, where no matter what I do, an HDMI cable wouldn’t charge my phone, and a barrel plug cable won’t transfer data between two devices.

    Yes, when buying chargers, devices, or cables, you have to check their capabilities, but you had to do the same before. If you bought a DP cable for your HDMI-only laptop, you’d be in the same mess.

    USB-C is much better than anything that came before it, hands down.
