> I am more that certain Apple would abuse the standard to force the users to only buy its cables. Based on iPhones with Lightning connectors supporting USB C PD charging for years now as well as various iPads with USB C/Thunderbolt connectors supporting many "USB C features" such as docks with HDMI and USB A ports, I'm curious why you are "more than certain" that Apple would change this behavior in the future. Could you care to elaborate?
