What's the market share for USB-C compared with USB-A/B?

Would hope that as it passes USB-A/B, it becomes as cheap as, or at least close to.

Also people will start to name & shame bad cable manufacturers, both when they are the ones not reading the cable specs (in which case it will alert people to do so) or when the cable specs do not match the actual cable capabilities (in which case the cable manufacturer is liable).

The other thing is as mobile phones/tablets change, you'll also get cables bundled with the device, which will probably be of a decent quality at least (they don't need to be Thunderbolt 3, just not fool the devices by violating USB-C specs).
