> I have exactly one C to C cable in my house, and a lot of A to B or C cables. So what if it violates the USB C spec? The Nintendo Switch violates the C spec too. Perhaps they should have made the spec a little more straightforward?

You may or may not be surprised, but other people have different mixes of tech. I'm past the halfway point in A to C, it's more troublesome now to find an open A port or cable than the other way around.

If you excuse bad behavior by companies, they'll gladly take advantage of that. Letting them blame the spec is foolish. It's not _that_ hard to get at least the basics right. Many do it fine.
