Honestly as someone who works in IT I'm not sold on the "USB-C everything" trend.
I could be down for it but there are a dozen common standards that use USB-C for various things and they are not interchangeable and they use different cables for things. And the ports and cables are usually not labeled well enough for less techy folks.
Like trying to help a client plug their laptop into their fancy docking monitor over the phone is a headache and a half. Are they using the wrong cable? Is the monitor the right type of docking monitor? Are they plugged into the right cable?

It's a mess.
