But USB was supposed to be the unifying connector.
Before: "Here in the back of the computer we have PS/2 ports (1 for keyboard and 1 for mouse), a parallel port, serial, 25-pin serial, game port".
Introducing USB: "Everything is USB now! Plug anything anywhere!"
USB version whatever: "Well the sockets look all the same, but you can only plug your display in here, to charge it you have to connect it here", etc, etc.
