How many variants of features are there really in practice for cables? Particularly for "brand name" cables from Anker, Amazon Basics, etc? I've only ever noticed Thunderbolt (which I've always seen denoted by a lightning bolt) and USB-C. And never really had a compatibility issue outside of that. One issue I have noticed is that there are dozens of 5 and 7 port USB A hubs out there, but there are basically no 5 or 7 port USB-C hubs. Lots of multi-purpose hubs with SD slot, multiple USB-A ports, and maybe 2 or 3 usb-c ports. And those USB-C ports will often have higher output via power delivery protocol, so obviously there's a thermal limit to how many of those you can pack onto a small hub. But why are there no non-power delivery simple usb-c hubs that would be a drop-in replacement for USB A hubs? It seems like this is kind of an issue for more simple peripheries to switch over to USB-C.
