I am concerned that there are no pictures of the adorable cats in the post.

It sound like the manufacturers just see USB-A as a convenient and cheap connector for delivering power.

Hi, author here, I've fixed that in the post now.
Your cats are adopting the universally understood pose of their human not being on time to feed them.
Great news!

By the way, are you Finnish? I've never seen an 'O with tilde' character before.

Nope, Estonian. Quite close to Finnish but not quite the same. We do have all the õäöü-s that we need though.
I apparently need to map more. My head had some Mercator perversion where Finland and Estonia were a continent apart. Or maybe I don't do spheres well.
Vietnamese uses the O with tilde charcater Õ, it's fairly common.

The first word I can think of is ngõ

It's a pretty rare character indeed.

Amazing, they are indeed adorable!

Is it really any cheaper than a simple barrel connector that manufacturers have used forever for power?

Probably cheaper by half a cent.
