One begets the other is my implied argument, if the standard wouldn't be this wide and allow for so much missing functionality, devices being this cheap and shitty would stick out more. Overall prices would be higher, but the quality per device would increase, even if just for economy of scale reasons.
How many bad USB 2 Hubs did you have to deal with?
- djur 5y agoThis has nothing to do with USB 3 or USB-C, though. The same shortcomings were true of previous USB standards, it just was rarely feasible to run so many different peripherals through a single hub.
- Dylan16807 5y agoWhat missing functionality? When chips die, that's not something the standard could affect. When a USB to Ethernet converter happens to be on the same circuit board as an actual hub, the USB standard isn't responsible for the Ethernet part. The screen connections are pretty much just passthrough. That's the narrowest you can get. And it doesn't sound like the USB ports on the hubs had any problems. If you split things up by standard, you'd have a USB hub that always works, with a flaky ethernet converter plugged in one port and a flaky HDMI converter plugged in another port.
