Thanks for clarifying.

In support of your point, this sentence, "I mean, the USB-C spec is really long, and probably very complicated thanks to the USB-IF committee" makes me think we probably agree more than disagree about the USB-IF.

I was probably reacting more to my own bitter experience with USB-C/3.xyz-it-even-has-electrolytes version(s).

It was relatively trivial to stand up a USB 2.x system.

USB 3.x with Type C connectors? Orders of magnitude more challenging throughout the stack. Even 99% of the Type-C connector hardware is bullshit.

I guess I'm empathizing with the opposite view that your title presents.

I truly don't care about _USB-C conformity_.

That said, I'd be embarrassed if my product that had a USB-C connector did not (at least slow) charge with a standard Type-C cable.
