    But what u r saying is under the assumption that laws cannot be changed.

    Tend not to change. The parliament will move on and forget about the issue. It’s not gonna revisit this decision every 6 months.

    This is why the whole medical field in the US still uses fax machines on a regular basis. It was encoded in legislation and then never removed.

    USB-C solves all problems that a port can solve.

    Tell me you’re under 25 without telling me you’re under 25. This has been said many times before. USB-C is frankly a bit of a mess (I mean, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.2 Gen 2…)

    There were ideas about using USB-C for power & networking in houses, replacing most of your wiring with USB cabling. That didn’t pan out. You can only use USB-C to drive a 4k display over relatively short distances. It’s often flaky. There are things that could be fixed with USB-D or whatever. This adds an obstacle to that goal.

      Your complaints don’t seem to be about the connector, but instead the USB 3 specification. USB 4 seems to address your concerns and mandates the type-c connector.
