I've got a USB-c cable that can charge and transfer data at high speeds... But ask it to transfer display data to a screen and it won't do a thing.

The USB-c standard is a nightmare... While having the same port for everything sounds like a decent idea to reduce waste, not every product requires the full spec. Maybe mandatory labeling (like some companies are doing already) would be a solution, but it's rather late to start with that now.

4 will solve some of this, and bring it up to a minimum usable standard generally, hopefuly we can use the numbers arms race to eliminate some of the bullshit being pulled
