The obvious ones: Ethernet cables are big (imagine one on a phone), and aren't designed to be plugged and unplugged the massive number of times that USB cables are (spring contacts wear out, little clips break).
- jririr828283 9y agoUSB cables have little to do with the question of sending pixels via IP Outside HDMI and some DisplayPort cables, all display connectors click or screw in And we’re talking about desktop OS and displays
