Why don't smart speakers have USB type C?

For example, Amazon echo and Google nest mini have proprietary barrel charger plugs.

What is the point of a proprietary barrel charger plug on a device like a small smart speaker which may be occasionally moved around? It makes much more sense to have USBC, the common connector,for power on those devices, and yet, stupidly, they have a proprietary charging port. It makes zero sense to me. Does someone care to explain this to me?

Why does Amazon echo not have USBC?

Why are there proprietary barrel charger supporters

The whole point of USBC was to be the one connector for everything

"Hey everyone: It’s time to switch to Windows 11

Hey windows laptop makers: it's time to switch to USBC (and by that I mean, it's time to be like Google and *require* any windows11 laptop sold to have 2 USBC ports - one on each side - for charging. PSA - public service announcement - people of earth - stop buying Windows11 laptops if they don't explicitly say that they charge via USBC. It's time to remove proprietary barrel chargers from the earth and move toward an industry standard that works for all our devices - laptops, phones, etc...)

Hey everyone: It's time to switch to Windows 11

It's been three years since Windows 11 launched, and I'm finally committing to Windows 11 over Windows 10 full-time. Here's why I think you should join me.
