It's an older standard, and if nothing else, the reversibility of type-c is worth the 10 cents.

And because one of the ports is USB OTG, one of the intended uses is for a micro B connector as the host connector. Which is a misuse of the originally intended function of that connector anyway.

Thanks, just seems like much ado about nothing, other than that last part.

I know I've got a wealth of devices that have the various formats, mostly micro. Their functionality still seems fine, so the anguish that pops up from time to time seems a bit much.
