People probably do this instinctively not even realizing this is how to determine which way is the correct way:

So… we do all know that USB ports tend to have a default orientation, right? Like we’re all aware that plugging in a USB cable correctly is aided by the fact that electronics companies generally use the same orientation on most orientable devices and the whole “USB rotation disorientation” bit is just a big inside joke, correct? Are there actually people out there not paying attention to the orientation of their cables before they plug them in so it’s just an eternal try and error for them? Maybe other countries have different standards or something because this age old bit is not making sense to me.

ok, but this does not help when the connector is vertical, like on the back of a PC, and often the front too. which side is “up”, left or right? on this particular product, of course.
and then comes when you cant see the connector while trying to plug it in.
