Have you ever looked at the horror that is USB-PD? The reason you've never seen v1 devices in the real world is because the spec was impossible to implement so they had to fix it in a v2.

I'm aware it vastly changed between 1 and 2, but I'm talking about using the current version, the fixed one.

"Tiny" probably isn't the best word but it's straightforward enough. It can be put into tiny chips.

If "written in a way that sort of make sense if all you can do is turn XML into Java code and is absolutely horrible to actually implement", then yes its straightforward.

Compare with PCIe, which is actually sane.
