How come?

Do you know if there are plans for a future revision of the hardware which will allow for the greater speed that USB-C can provide to be utilized?

Not sure. It dumps the cart over serial and there were some problems with higher speeds at one point.

I don't think the carts themselves are that fast, there wouldn't be a huge amount of benefit. At least when I tried it it wasn't even coming close to using full USB 2 speed.
