Motherboard vendors don't need to deal with PD and DisplayPort. USB-C will work just fine without them - it'll just behave like any regular old USB port.

- p1mrx 3y agoUSB-C is like a regular old USB port, with twice the data lanes (or a mux[1]) and a transistor to turn on the power when requested. In other words, it costs more.

- userinanother 3y agoHence why they have so few
- Dylan16807 3y agoOn the scale of a motherboard, those things are cheap and provide more value than half the marketing bullet points.
- notatoad 3y agoRight, but if they do that then people will complain that their USB-C port isn’t working, or about how USB-C is so confusing because you never know what a port does. They’ve got a choice between doing nothing and having a few people complain, or doing a bunch of work and spending a bunch of money and still having people complain. One of those is a lot easier.
