USB is pretty jank now, too, with how they’re trying to make it the “everything” connector. I am dealing with USB issues every week (pro/commercial AV) nowadays
It’s ok for consumer stuff but it has a lot of problems in professional environments. I’m not talking peripherals and laptop docks.
It’s hard to extend/convert, has a cap on hubs, and there’s compatibility issues. Enforcement of the standard is understandably lacking when it’s supposed to work in every application. But it’s like every company invents their own proprietary way to use it so there only thing standard is the connector itself.

The universal thing is the whole point of a “universal” serial bus, isn’t it?
Problems only arise because cables and ports aren’t properly labeled with capabilities.

Jack of all trades, master of none.
Yeah. And it could be the master of a LOT if it just gave up a few.
I love USB when it connects things at my desk. I like it a lot less elsewhere
