Thank you for making the perfect argument! My GPU does in fact have a VGA port. Also an HDMI, and a DisplayPort. See how that works ? The government does not mandate that there will be only one USBC port and nothing else. If you want to play with Thunderfire v5 Turbo Proprietary Edition, feel free to!

Just slap in a USBC too.

It may not be a technical problem could be a form factor problem. Lightening more than anything else is a great form factor. All the technical arguments ignore the fact the it's best features were not technical.
