I agree, however I could absolutely see it getting away from us.
If Thunderbolt gives even a slight advantage over USB-C, vendors will want to use it over USB-C. And the layperson will want it as well, which leads to "creep" making the most insecure but fastest method the "main".
There would need to be a way to dissuade vendors from using Thunderbolt for everything... And sadly a warning message isn't enough.
- chimeracoder 9y agoThis isn't an apples to apples comparison. Thunderbolt 3 is a protocol, and USB-C, is a connector type uses for a lot of things, including Thunderbolt 3. There is Thunderbolt 2, but it never saw any adoption outside Apple, and it's basically dead.
- Klathmon 9y agoI was comparing the protocols underpinning them, apologies if that was confusing.
