Yes but I am pretty sure there very few people who need so much bandwidth and you can always buy a usb c flash drive.

True, I guess. And I'm one of them. Sometimes I use numerous Linux, Windows or macOS VMs for testing stuff. At 5-10GB per VM, that's way too much for my system array. So I use LUKS-encrypted HDDs and SSDs via USB. With my pitiful uplink, cloud storage for hundreds of GB would be unworkable.

And yes, I could use USB-C.
