I've long held that USB should have been TRRS (like headphones) from the beginning - compact, physically robust, rotationally symmetric, and very very easy to plug in. I've heard two objections to this - packet loss caused by intermittent contact from the connector rotating while plugged in, and the requirement to make the system resilient to transient shorts while being plugged and unplugged. Neither seems like a serious engineering challenge, in light of the reliability and user interface fiasco that pretty much every USB connector has been so far until USB-C.
