As an IT professional, I encounter this frequently—people attempt to save money, only to end up with subpar equipment that hampers their ability to perform their work. In the end, they often lose more money than they would have saved, all because they focused on saving that small amount upfront. Cost savings are not always advantageous; it's akin to the saying, 'Saving a penny to spend a dollar'.
And anything that isn’t compatible with USB-C is subpar equipment.
