Yeah, it’s a weird state of things. But not really, when you think about other cable standards.
It’s interesting how USB, and now USB-C is becoming a standard power delivery interface. Even for things that have no “smart” features. I’m actually interested in getting USB-C wall outlets. In a few places.
