Eyes should not be mandatory to operate a USB cable. I can think of no other consumer cable that requires me to stare at it while I plug it in.

Eh, I cut my teeth on old Apple serial ports. Same mini-DIN8 cable. Feel for the flat part and jam it in. I've lost surprisingly few pins with that strategy.
