I don't think USB-C is as bad as its reputation. Yes, it's tough to find a cable that will carry data and video signals and high voltage charging. But how does that compare with the alternatives? You can't do it with Lightning, period. You can't do it with any other cable standard, period. Sure it could be improved, but the fact is I can get a cable with all those features after (minimal) research, and before it just wasn't possible.
