That's not "the internet", that's last hop of the internet and mostly due to technical limitations (if you got X bandwidth giving most of it to upload makes sense). FTH makes it easier to give symmetrical access

The problem is that you generally have to force people to keep their own safety. Else the el cheapo company shitting on any work safety will be cheaper and quicker, coz workers don't know any better, and thus more competitive, at worst

USB micro was introduced in 2007 and is only now on its way out. I'm pretty sure we have at least decade or two of USB-C. It also got to the point when nothing but laptops and external hard drives need full capability of it so I think
