People replace dud cables regularly. They break, that's a fact. Instead of having to replace 3 different cables every 3-5 years, now you only have to replace one.

Come on this is simple af, next pointless argument please

You replace a cable that breaks. That’s a 1-1 replacement. A different/same connector at the end doesn’t save anything.

It really does, at least for me.

If my computer charger breaks, I wouldn't need to replace it 1:1. I could use the charger from my phone, my Nintendo Switch, my headset, my "name any other device".

So no, I wouldn't need to go and buy a new cable everytime something breaks. I can easily live with 2 working cables.

And you replace a charger as a whole for every other generation of device. What happened to usb after usb c? Or the one that came before that, or the one that came before that.

If I have 4 devices and they all come with a different cable then when one breaks I have to buy a new cable.

If I have 4 devices and they all come with a USB-C cable then when one breaks I still have 3 working cables.

Honestly, I don't know what nonsense you're spouting.
