[edit: maybe entirely wrong? see reply.] USB-C was enthusiastically coinvented by Apple, not forced on them. They just let the standards orgs lead publicly to

  This is definitely not accurate. Apple didn't get on board until well after the connector and other things had been just about finalized. The price of making that connector a standard that Apple was willing to use was not pointing out it was made by a staunch competitor. I don't even think they were attending meetings. (Gruber said something completely and totally wrong about this, which is usually the source of people's thinking apple did it. The history here is well documented, just not well known or well publicized, deliberately, so Apple could save face)

    Because I find it rather hard to believe USB group actually design the plug that is reversible.
