This is funny to me because so many people wanted USB-C to be a government mandated, gun pointed to your head standard, and they couldn’t see how now we are stuck with USB-C being the default connector. That never meant you automatically get new protocols running over that wire. You still have to buy new cables.
Some of us brought this up and were shouted down. I do like that the regulation eliminated proprietary connectors, but the inability to grow physical and signalling standards together was always going to be a problem.
