I really don't understand why there is such a complaint about Apple finally moving to an open standard.

I mean this is an age old cycle. People consistently complain about the changes in technology. Without these changes there would be no innovation. No updates. Do people want status quo for the rest of their lives!? What's the deal?

Also if you have the money to spend $2000+ on a new computer, is it not safe to assume that you can afford a couple dongles until the industries move to that standard?

I guess i need to take more pictures, because clearly no one reads the articles. Here's the relevant quote from the final section for you:

"Here’s the thing - USB is a mess, and pretty much has been for at least 10 years. At least Apple have now standardised on one messy connectivity option rather than three (or four, or five)."
