The only thing changing here is the way cables are going to be labeled, the tech itself is staying exactly the same.

And on top of that, the author was generally correct for most situations, but usb (and especially usb c) truly has replaced a ton of separate connectors with a single standard. And it's very likely to continue to replace even more as time goes on
