I acknowledged that you weren't the person making the initial claim right at the beginning of my comment, but the flow of the discussion here is:

A) Initial claim: USB-C was coming anyway because it takes years to integrate this stuff into new devices

B) Counter-argument: If it took them years to integrate this port into the device then why does it appear to be slapped together with shit data speed?

C) Your counter counter-argument: it appears slapped together because it's a simple one line change in the production process and is very simple

A and C can't be true because they're diametrically opposed. If B and C are true then A is false.
