Google makes "cursed" devices in production :) The Chromebook debug functionality is only accessible in one orientation:

(but that's with a special cable)

Can confirm. Suzy Q cable. SparkFun sells one. Had to diagnose a Pixelbook that got bricked on an update that Google was refusing to warranty. Thought the cable was bad before someone in Discord suggested that I flip the plug. Still not sure how I feel about a reversible plug having a specific orientation.

You feel terrible about it. The question is how terrible.
