Indeed, the apparent simplicity on the physical layer has moved the complexity onto the logical layer. I love the article, and it made me aware of a lot of things I didn't know. However, my experience with USB-C is way better. I use the same charger for my laptop, pad and phone. I even use the same screen (with integrated docking station) for both my laptop and my phone (yay Samsung DeX), both at work and at home. This would have been impossible / unimaginable half-a-decade ago. (Anyone remember the "Lenovo-type" docking station vs. the "Dell-type" docking station?) I agree that USB-C still has challenges to overcome, but I find the direction so-far to be the right one.
