I do not really have a body for this. I was not aware that this is a thing and still feel like this is bs, but maybe there is an actual explanation for HDMI Forum’s decision that I am missing.

    You want more cables?

    Yes, I absolutely want different cables with different connectors.

    Being able to physically plug two USB-C devices together is not a benefit if the devices can’t actually talk to each other properly on the cable. I’d much rather have three different connectors, each of them guaranteeing protocol compatibility, than USB-C for which any given device-cable-device combination, the behavior is nearly impossible to predict.
