    Previous connectors had inherent flaws. The USB-C connector is sturdy, is easy to use etc. But even if we had made the micro-usb connector the only legal connector, it wouldn’t have been the end of the world. Existing standards can be improved instead of making new shapes each time.

      USB-C is a bitch to clean, I have had multiple devices where fast charging stopped working until I cleaned out the port or held the wire in a particular angle.

        Yea that’s a valid concern. But if a new standard ever get’s invented that is clearly better the law can easily be switched. And if it doesn’t… USB-C is still more than fine.
