It's possibly because of conflating USB-C (the connector) with the USB protocols (what goes down the wires). I could put a USB-C connector on a device and have it not even try to do any USB protocol over the wire. If not being caref

I guess I meant if "beam" is an original German word, and then does "beamer" make sense grammatically in German. Of course given the history of English it's not unlikely that "beam" came from German roots
