"Industry progress" doesn't happen if companies are banned from selling new devices with new standards.
- crote 4y agoSelling devices with both connectors is allowed. Besides that, there are plenty of industry standards developed well before the first devices come on the market. PCIe 6 was finished before the first PCIe 5 product even hit the shelves, DDR5 was done two years before the first CPU used it, and I bet someone is working on a USB 5 already.
- mlindner 4y ago> Selling devices with both connectors is allowed. Unless by doing so you harm the competitiveness of the device. Additionally if a device still has USB-C no one's going to design peripherals for a device and artificially limit their market if they don't have to. This makes moving to new standards difficult or impossible.
