This is Apple at it again, do bare minimum and charge premium. They left USB2 because it required no work, but they had to put type C because EU regulation. Since USB is backwards compatible, solution is just solder half of the connector, charge premium price and fuck you customers. And they are right, people don't care. Instead they go defending it like "I don't need it anyway", "Am not a pro, I don't need it", etc.
