That’s the point, I have no clue. But we might still be stuck with floppy drives with a mindset like that.

Although as a physical connector usb-c is far from perfect. IMHO lighting seemed nicer in some ways.

That seems like a false equivalency to me. It seems quite obvious that storage media have more potential for development than charging wires.

Wire go in - power go through, is literally all they need to do and USB-C does that pretty well.
