If you're trying to mandate the highest requirements for all manufacturers, then they're going to either not build or not conform simply because it's too expensive. This is an unfortunate consequence of being the universal standard; it's even worse if manufacturers decide to ignore the standard so you gotta try embrace them.

I wonder if maybe there was more consolidation if volumes of scale would allow for more fully featured defaults.

Yes, I think iPhone moving to USB-C will make a dent. Currently, nearly half of the mobile ecosystem doesn't work with USB very well and a large portion of them represents a high-end segment which the recent USB standards target for. Also Apple will produce hundreds of millions of high quality USB cables which will help economies of scale.
