I've said this many times before, and I'll say it many times more, but USB needs to go back to living by its name and being a Universal Serial Bus. That doesn't mean being a video bus, or a DMA bus, or a JTAG bus. It means being a serial bus. You can wrap whatever video or JTAG data you want in a serial connection without it being baked into the standard.

- tbrownaw 10y agoThe wonderful thing about standards is that they're, well, standard. USB Video Class devices can all use the same driver, instead of every new webcam needing it's own special software to work. USB HID devices all use the same driver, so I don't have to know I'd my specific keyboard and mouse are supported.

What's wrong is trying to shove everything and the dog into a single standard instead of appropriately separating concerns. Now we have multiple mutually incompatible USB-C connector based video protocols. This is the result of trying to overspecify the USB standard.
