Why would you want to move to USB-C other than not having to flip the cable when you inevitably put it in the wrong way.

If your answer is power delivery, remember that not all cables and not all devices support power delivery on USB-C so it's nothing that couldn't have been done with "USB4" utilising the same plug we've always had.

Few reasons for me:

* HDMI and DP alt modes make laptop docks a lot cheaper and more universal

* Don't need an OTG cable to use a Type-C device on my Type-C phone

* Potential Thunderbolt 3 port reuse
