It's maddening how flawed USB-C is. In terms of reliability, I've had to replace the usb port on my phone already after 3 years (at least it's possible to do that with my phone), and I've had every USB-C dock fail on me.
And they're also bad with interoperability. I've got several cables and devices, each of which uses C connectors but quietly refuses to interface with for reasons that are known only to the manufacturers. Is this a data and power cable, a power only cable, or a secret third option? Time to test every single one and promptly forget. And sometimes my devices have further preferences about which power cable will work.
We were all deceived. One standard to rule them all.
I've never had those issues. I quite like USB-C.
If my best experiences with them were the norm, I would too. I love the idea of standardisation in theory, it's the reality that is giving me the morbs.
