Color-coding would have helped solve the cable mess, especially for users who are not tech-savvy. Imagine if USB-C were green, Thunderbolt were blue, Lightning was yellow, and DisplayPort red. If you have a rat's nest of cables behind your desk, it becomes easier to tell what's what, which makes it more manageable and less frustrating. Also easier to guide non-tech-savvy family and friends on the phone: "See the red cable? Is one end plugged into the monitor?" "Yes" "Good, now plug the other end into the laptop." is a better conversation than: "There are a dozen cables here, all alike!"
